European Free Handicap

European Free Handicap

The European Free Handicap is a Listed flat horse race in the United Kingdom open to three-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 7 furlongs (1,408 metres) on the Rowley Mile at Newmarket Racecourse, and it takes place annually in mid April.

It is a handicap race, and the participating horses carry weights based on the ratings they achieved during the previous season as two-year-olds. The race is also a trial for the first Classics of the year. The 1991 winner Mystiko went on to win the 2,000 Guineas, while the 1995 runner-up Harayir subsequently won the fillies' version, the 1,000 Guineas. Other notable winners of the European Free Handicap include Desert Prince and Indian Haven, who both later won the Irish 2,000 Guineas.
