Go For Wand Handicap

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Go For Wand Stakes is an American thoroughbred horse race established in 1954 for fillies and mares age three and up. Inaugurated at Belmont Park as the Maskette Stakes in honor of the Hall of Fame filly, Maskette, it was renamed in 1992 for its ill-fated 1990 winner and Hall of Fame inductee, Go For Wand.

Currently raced at Saratoga Race Course, the Go For Wand Stakes is run at a distance of one and one-eighth miles on the dirt track. It is a Grade I race with a purse of $250,000.
