- New York Turf Writers Cup
-
The New York Turf Writers Cup is a steeplechase race for thoroughbred horses held at the Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York each year. A Grade I event on the turf for 4-year-olds and up, this race offers a purse of $150,000.The New York Turf Writers Association was founded in 1923. The race it engendered began in 1938 and is run over hurdles for two miles plus. Two horses, Flatterer and Lonesome Glory, between them gathered up nine Eclipse Awards. Both are enshrined in the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, as is Zaccio, a two time winner of this race.
Happy Intellectual won this race three times in a row: at 10 in 1976, at 11 in 1977, and at 12 in 1978.
