The Thistle Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually at Sheepshead Bay Race Track from 1902 through 1910. An event open to horses of either sex aged three and older, it was contested on a dirt track until 1910 when it was run on the grass course. While the Thistle Stakes could only be run for nine years, it is one of the few in or around that same time frame where no horse, jockey, trainer or owner won it more than once.
