The Select Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in the United Kingdom open to thoroughbreds which are three-years-old or above. It is run over a distance of 1 mile 1 furlong and 192 yards (1,986 metres) at Goodwood Racecourse, and it takes place annually in September.
First run in 1965, the race was originally titled the Valdoe Stakes. This was changed to the present name in 1986. Initially the event excluded three-year-olds, and from 1973 to 1975 it was for three and four-year-olds only. In 1966 it was run as a handicap race.
Notable winners include Dancing Brave, who won the race en route to victory in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, and Alderbrook, who later won the Champion Hurdle. Both Singspiel and Moon Ballad subsequently won the Dubai World Cup.
