Gallorette Handicap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gallorette Handicap is a race for thoroughbred horses run on Preakness Day at the Pimlico Race Course as a stakes feature of the undercard. It's set at a distance of one and one sixteenth miles.
A Grade III event for older fillies and mares, it offers a purse of $100,000 added.
It's in a series of stakes races named for famous Marylanders, in this case: Gallorette, one of the greatest racing fillies in American history.
Gallorette's own daughter, Lovely Gale, won this race in 1954.
