The Daisy Stakes was a Thoroughbred horse race for two-year-olds at Sheepshead Bay Race Track in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York. It was contested at a distance of five furlongs on the grass course between 1890 and 1909 with the exception of 1908 when the race was not held as a result of that year's passage of the Hart-Agnew anti-betting legislation by the New York Legislature which would lead to a state-wide shutdown of racing in 1911 and 1912. What would prove be the final edition of the Daisy Stakes took place on June 18, 1910, and was run on the main dirt track.
A February 21, 1913 ruling by the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division saw horse racing return in 1913. However, the deterioration of the Sheepshead Bay Race Track's financial condition was such that it never reopened.’
