Gallorette Handicap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gallorette Handicap is an American Thoroughbred horse race run on Preakness Day at the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland as a stakes feature of the undercard. It's set at a distance of one and one sixteenth miles on the turf.
A Grade IIIT event for older fillies and mares, it offers a purse of $100,000 added.
The race is part of a series of stakes races named for famous Marylanders, in this case: Gallorette, one of the great racing fillies in American history.
Gallorette's own daughter, Mlle. Lorette, won this race in 1954.
