The Sport Page 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.

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 2008 it will be the 56th running of the Sport Page.
