Kings Point Handicap

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The The Kings Point Handicap is an ungraded stakes race for three-year-olds and up run in the Spring at Aqueduct Racetrack in Jamaica, New York.

At a distance of 1 and 1/6 mile, it's in its 26th running in 2006 and offers a purse of $65,000. Though not restricted to New York bred horses, this is not an open race: it is considered a race on the New York bred schedule.

Named for the village on the north shore of Long Island, New York which is home to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
