Amsterdam Stakes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Amsterdam Stakes is a race for thoroughbred horses held in August at Saratoga Race Course in upstate New York. The Amsterdam is open to horses age three and up, willing to sprint six and a half furlongs on the dirt. It is a Grade II event and offers a purse of $150,000.

Prior to 1998, this race was run as the Screen King.

In 2006, it will be in its 14th running. The very successful stallion, Distorted Humor, won the Amsterdam (Screen King) in 1996.
