Tidal Handicap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tidal Handicap was an American Thoroughbred horse race contested on turf at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York. Run in early July, the Grade II event was open to horses aged three and older.
The third of Belmont Park's four major summer grass races for older horses, the unofficial series began with the Red Smith Handicap (G-2) in early June, followed by the Bowling Green Handicap (G-1) in mid June, and finished with the Sword Dancer Handicap (G-1) at the end of July. [1]
Previously, the Tidal Handicap had been run at Aqueduct Racetrack and records show that a Tidal Stakes was run at the old Sheepshead Bay Race Track for almost thirty years from the 1880s through until the track closed in 1910.
