Sport Page Breeders' Cup Handicap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sport Page Breeders' Cup Handicap is a race run at Aqueduct Race Track each year for three-year-olds and up. A Grade III event, it's set at a distance of 7 furlongs on the dirt and offers a purse of $150,000 added.
The Sport Page is named in honor of the horse who won the East View Stakes at Jamaica, New York in 1948.
Run at Jamaica prior to 1959; at Belmont Park in 1968, 1971, 1995, 2001 and 2003, this race has been run at Aqueduct in all other years.
Open to all ages prior to 1959, and run at the distance of six furlongs from 1953 to 1993, then at seven furlongs from 1994 to 2000.
In 2007 it will be the 55th running of the Sport Page.
