The Inside Information Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. A Grade II event, it is open to fillies and mares age four-years-old and up, willing to race seven furlongs on the dirt. The race offers a purse of $150,000.
Known as the Shirley Jones Handicap until 2009, it was renamed for the racing mare Inside Information, winner of the 1995 Breeders' Cup Distaff who was voted that year's American Champion Older Female Horse.
The race was run at six furlongs in 1976 and 1979 as the Shirley Jones Stakes and was open to three-year-old fillies. In 1976 the distance was set at 11/ miles (8.5 furlongs) and in 1979 at six furlongs.
In 1983, the race was run in two divisions.

Famous quotes containing the words information and/or stakes:
“Many more children observe attitudes, values and ways different from or in conflict with those of their families, social networks, and institutions. Yet today’s young people are no more mature or capable of handling the increased conflicting and often stimulating information they receive than were young people of the past, who received the information and had more adult control of and advice about the information they did receive.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“This man was very clever and quick to learn anything in his line. Our tent was of a kind new to him; but when he had once seen it pitched, it was surprising how quickly he would find and prepare the pole and forked stakes to pitch it with, cutting and placing them right the first time, though I am sure that the majority of white men would have blundered several times.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
