Shuvee Handicap

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shuvee Handicap is an American race Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York. Run in mid May, it is open to fillies and mares, age three and up, who are willing to race one mile on the dirt. A Grade II event, it offers a purse of $150,000. The Shuvee is one of the first prep races for the Breeders' Cup Distaff.

Inaugurated in 1976, the race was named after the great racing filly, Shuvee (winner of the 1969 Fillies Triple Crown). This race was won in 1988 by the undefeated Personal Ensign. Sky Beauty won it in 1994.
