Bernard Baruch Handicap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bernard Baruch Handicap is a race for thoroughbred horses run in early to mid August at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. The race is for three year olds and up willing to race one and one-eighth miles on the turf and carries a purse of $200,000. This is a Grade II event and is used as a prep for the Breeders' Cup.
The Bernard Baruch is named for the statesman, an advisor to various US presidents, and a lover of horses, thoroughbred horse racing and the life of America's racetracks.
In 1960, Tompion won this race.
