The race is an American [[Thoroughbred horse race]] held annually at [[Aqueduct Racetrack]] in [[Queens]], [[New York (state)|New York]]. It was called the '''Aqueduct Handicap''', but beginning in 2009, the name was changed to the '''Evening Attire Stakes''' in honor of the great grey [[gelding]] [[Evening Attire (horse)|Evening Attire]]. He raced until he was 10 years old, retiring in 2008. The race is an [[Graded stakes race|ungraded stakes]] event run on dirt at a distance of {{frac|1 ^|1/<small>|16</small>}} miles, it is open to horses three years old and up.

On November 28, 2007, this Grade III stakes race was downgraded to an ungraded stakes by the [[Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association|American Graded Stakes Committee]].

Originally named for the racetrack where the inaugural race took place in 1902, until recently, it was mostly run on [[Labor Day]] but now is held in January. (It was run in late February in 2015.) The race did not take place from 1910 through 1916, 1924, 1956 through 1958, 1969 through 1972, 1974–1975, and in 1979. The 2010 edition marked its 91st running.

In 1961, the Aqueduct Handicap was run at [[Belmont Park]].

The race was renamed the Aqueduct Stakes from 1962 to 1965 and in 1967 and 1968. In 1973 it was restricted to 2-year-old horses and was won by [[Cannonade]] who went on to win the 1974 [[Kentucky Derby]].
