Sanford Stakes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sanford Stakes is a Grade II 6 furlong sprint race for two-year-olds run at the Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. Held for almost a hundred years, the only two years in which it did not take place was 1961 and 2005. It now offers a purse of $150,000.

In its 92nd running in 2006, it was in the seventh running of the 1919 Sanford that the great Man O' War lost his only race to a horse called Upset.

The Sanford is named for the Sanfords, one of Saratoga's original horse racing families. Their horses first appeared in the Saratoga races in 1880. Stephen Sanford named all his best horses after Mohawk Indians.

Maria's Mon won the Sanford in 1995, Forty Niner in 1987, Affirmed in 1977, Secretariat in 1972, Tom Fool in 1951, Devil Diver in 1941, Upset in 1919, and the filly Regret in 1914.
