The Hawthorne Juvenile Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually from 1927 through 1999 at Hawthorne Race Course in Stickney/Cicero, Illinois. The race was open to two-year-old horses and was last contested on dirt at a distance of a mile and a sixteenth (8.5 furlongs).
The inaugural edition took place on August 27, 1927, as the Chicago Juvenile Handicap at a distance of six furlongs on dirt. It was won by John W. Marchbank's filly, May Cooper.[1]
The race in 1999 was supplanted by the Jim Edgar Illinois Futurity, a race open to Illinois-bred two-year-old colts and geldings.
