The Correction Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Aqueduct Racetrack in Ozone Park, Queens, New York. A non-graded stakes race for fillies and mares age four and older, it is raced on dirt over a distance of six furlongs. It currently offers a purse of $100,000. Inaugurated in 1940 at Jamaica Race Course, following that track's closure the race was moved in 1960 to its current location at Aqueduct Racetrack. The race was named in honor of Correction, a filly owned by John Morris and his son, Alfred, and trained by U. S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, R. Wyndham Walden.[1]
