The Barbara Fritchie Handicap is an American race for Thoroughbred horses run at Laurel Park Racecourse in Laurel, Maryland each year. A Grade II, this race is open to fillies and mares, age three and up, and is run at seven furlongs on the dirt and offers a purse of $300,000.
The race is run in honor of Barbara Fritchie, who was an American patriot during the American Civil War. According to legend, Fritchie, a 95-year-old woman at the time, stood in the street and attempted to block or at least antagonize Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson and his troops by waving the Union flag as they marched through Frederick, Maryland, on their campaign to the Battle of Gettysburg.[1]
The Barbara Fritchie Handicap was run at Bowie Race Course in Bowie, Maryland, from 1952-1984 before being moved to its present location at Laurel Park. The race was a grade 3 race from 1973-1991 before being upgraded to grade 2 status for the 1992 running. The race was not held in 1960, 1972 and 2006. Its distance was six furlongs from 1957 to 1959 and 1963, and it was run at one mile in 1961. Tosmah won this race in 1966.[1]
The race was run in two divisions in 1982, 1984 and 1985.
