Messenger Stakes är ett passgångslopp för 3-åriga varmblodiga passgångshästar som körs varje år i augusti på Meadowlands Racetrack i New Jersey i USA.[1] Loppet har körts sedan 1956, och springs över distansen 1 mile (1 609 m).[2]
Det är det andra loppet av tre som ingår i den amerikanska passgångssportens Triple Crown. De övriga loppen som ingår i Triple Crown är Little Brown Jug och Cane Pace. Att en häst vinner samtliga dessa tre lopp under sin treåringssäsong innebär att hästen tar en Triple Crown.
Likt Little Brown Jug avgörs Messenger Stakes med kvallopp, och sedan ett finallopp samma dag. Från 2006 på Yonkers Raceway körs kvalloppen en vecka innan finalloppet.
