A Gleam Invitational Handicap

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The A Gleam Invitational Handicap is a race for thoroughbred horses held in California, in the United States of America. It is held on the same day as the Hollywood Gold Cup Stakes at Hollywood Park, usually the beginning of July. The A Gleam is open to fillies and mares age three and up willing to sprint seven furlongs on the dirt. The race is a Grade II with a purse of $150,000.

This race is in honor of A Gleam (by Blenheim out of Twilight Tear by Bull Lea). Born in 1949, A Gleam was a stakes winning filly of exceptional class.
