Floral Park Handicap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Floral Park Handicap is a Grade III race run at Belmont Park on Long Island, New York in its fall meet. Established for Thoroughbred fillies and mares, age three and up, it's a sprint race, meaning a flat out, full throttle dash, set at 6 furlongs on the dirt and offers a purse of $100,000 Added. This race is a prep for the Breeders' Cup Sprint.
The year 2006 saw the 12th running of the Floral Park which is named for Floral Park, New York, the site of a very early race track, one of America's first horse running courses. In those days races were not run on ovals; they were run in heats over hill and dale, usually four in number, and were exhausting affairs.
In December of 2006, the New York Racing Association (NYRA) announced the the elimination of this race beginning in 2007 due to its poor placement on the Breeder's Cup Sprint run-up schedule.
