The Cinderella Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood, California. It is open to two-year-old fillies and is contested on Cushion Track synthetic dirt over a distance of five and one half furlongs. The Listed race currently offers a purse of $70,000 added.
Inaugurated in the fall of 1950 as a race for three-year-old fillies and set at a distance of a mile and one-sixteenth, the first winner was Alfred G. Vanderbilt's filly Next Move who went on to earn that year's American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly honors.
