The original CARTER HANDICAP was run in 1895 and had a gross value of $600 of which $500 was contributed by Captain William Carter of Brooklyn, a contractor and tugboat captain. Because of his gesture the race was named for him. The CARTER Handicap will always by remembered for the triple dead heat it produced in 1944, when Bossuet, Brownie, and Wait a Bit could not be separated at the wire.

The CARTER was run at old Aqueduct from 1895 to 1945 and from 1947 to 1955; and at Belmont Park in l946, from l956 to l959, from 1968 to l974, and in 1994. Not run in l909, l9ll, l9l2, l9l3, l933, and l934. Run at a mile and a quarter in l895; a mile and a furlong in l896; a mile and a sixteenth in l897; about seven furlongs in l898; and at six and a half furlongs from l899 to l902. Run in two divisions in l977 and l978.

The triple dead heat in 1944 among Bossuet, Wait A Bit, and Brownie is the only such finish in American stakes history. There was also a Dead Heat between Quiet Little Table and Gentle King in one of the two divisions run in 1977.

In 1999, Artax broke Dr. Fager’s seven-furlong Aqueduct track record (set in 1968), completing the seven furlongs in 1:20. That victory also established a new stakes record for the Carter Handicap.
