Kings Point Handicap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The The Kings Point Handicap is an ungraded stakes race for three-year-olds and up run in the Spring at Aqueduct Racetrack in Jamaica, New York.
At a distance of 1 and 1/6 mile, it's in its 29th running in 2009 and offers a purse of $65,000. Though not restricted to New York bred horses, this is not an open race: it is considered a race on the New York bred schedule.
Named for the village on the north shore of Long Island, New York which is home to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, the Kings Point was run at a mile and seventy yards from 1981 to 1987, and from 1989 to 1995. It was run at one mile in 1988.
