Gravesend Handicap

Gravesend Handicap

The Gravesend Handicap is an American Thoroughbred horse race run at Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, New York late in the year. In its 50th running in December 2009, the Grade III event is for three-year-olds and up and set at a distance of six furlongs. It offers a purse of $100,000 added.

The Gravesend is named in honor of the early American racetrack once sited near Coney Island, Brooklyn. The Gravesend Race Track was closed in 1910.

Prior to 1961, the Gravesend was run at Jamaica Racetrack once, in 1975, at Belmont Park. In 1962, it was set at seven furlongs.
