Historical notes

[edit]

The original Long Island Handicap was established in 1894 at Sheepshead Bay Race Track in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York. The race was open to horses of either gender age three and older and run on dirt over a distance of one mile and one furlong. It was last run in 1910 when the racetrack closed as a result of anti-gambling legislation.

A second edition of the Long Island Handicap was inaugurated in 1956 at Belmont Park. Through 1971 the race was open to horses of either gender, age three and older. It was hosted by Belmont Park in 1956–1960, 1962, 1964–1965, 1968–1969, 1972, 1975–1977, and 1989–1993.

Prior to 2017, the Long Island was run under handicap weights. Since then, the New York Racing Association has run the race under allowance weights.[1]

Since its inception, the Long Island has been raced at various distances:

  • 1 mile, 1 furlong : 1894–1910
  • 1 mile : 1972
  • 1+1⁄16 miles : 1973–1977
  • 1+3⁄16 miles : 1959, 1961, 1963–1967, 1970–1971
  • 1+3⁄8 miles : 1960, 1962, 1968–1969, 1989, 1997, 2000, 2018–2020
  • 1+1⁄2 miles: 1990–1996, 1998–1999, 2001–2017, 2021–present
  • 1+5⁄8 miles : 1956–1958

It was run in two divisions in 1958, 1962, 1967, 1969, 1970, 1972, 1974, 1985, 1990, and 1998.
