The Pan Zareta Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run at the Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, Louisiana, each winter. An ungraded stakes, the Pan Zareta is a 5.5 furlong sprint on turf open to fillies and mares four years old and up. The race currently offers a $100,000 purse.[1]

First run in 1966, the race is named in honor of the Hall of Fame racing mare, Pan Zareta who is buried in the infield of the Fair Grounds alongside two other horses, Black Gold and Tudor Tambourine. All three of these horses died at the track, Black Gold and Tudor Tambourine while racing, and Pan Zareta in her stall on Christmas Day. Each year, the winning jockey lays a wreath on Pan Zareta's grave after the race.
