The Harry Henson Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually during the third week of April as part of the opening day races of the spring/summer meet at Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood, California. Open to three-year-old horses, it was a non-graded stakes raced on turf that has been contested at a distance of six furlongs since 2007. The race offered a purse of US$70,000.
Inaugurated in 1952 as the Debonair Stakes, it was renamed in 1991 to honor Harry Henson, a former jockey who was Hollywood Park's race caller from 1958 to 1982.
Past winners include Imbros in 1953, Kentucky Derby winner Determine in 1954, and a son of Imbros in 1962, the U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Native Diver.
