Bernard Baruch Handicap

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bernard Baruch Handicap is an American race for Thoroughbred horses run in early to mid August at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. The race is for three year olds and up willing to race one and one-eighth miles on the turf and carries a purse of $200,000. This is a Grade II event and is used as a prep for the Breeders' Cup.

The Bernard Baruch is named for the statesman, an advisor to various US presidents, and a lover of horses, thoroughbred horse racing and the life of America's racetracks.

The Bernard Baruch will be in its 50th running in 2008.

Past winners include Tompion (1960), Fort Marcy (1967), Overskate (1979) and Lure (1994). In 1975, there was a dead heat for Win between Salt Marsh and War McAllister.
