Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap is a race for thoroughbred horses set at a distance of six furlongs on the dirt at Saratoga Race Course. The Grade II Vanderbilt is open to three year olds and up of either gender, and carries a purse of $200,000.

Called the A Phenomenon Handicap before 2000, the race is now named for Alfred G. Vanderbilt II, a devotee of horse racing. The New York Turf Writers honored Vanderbilt by voting him as β€œThe Man Who Did The Most for Racing,” a record four times.
