• Source: Nursery Stakes

The Nursery Stakes, or other designations incorporating the word "Nursery", refers to a Thoroughbred horse race used by racetracks worldwide to identify it as a novice race exclusively for two-year-olds, the age a horse is first legally allowed to compete.
In use since the 18th century, it is today still used but is a somewhat dated term. In recent decades the Nursery designation in a race title has often been supplanted by the term "Juvenile". Current or defunct "Nursery" races include:

Australia:

VATC Gwyn Nursery at Caulfield Racecourse
RRC Nursery Handicap.
United States:

Nursery Stakes at Belmont Park
Pimlico Nursery Stakes at Pimlico Race Course
Pennsylvania Nursery Stakes at Philadelphia Park Racetrack
Santa Catalina Nursery Stakes at Santa Anita Park.
Great Britain:
