The STYMIE HANDICAP is named for the fine handicap runner, owned by Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs, who was voted the handicap champion of 1945. He was elected to the National Racing Hall of Fame in 1975. In 131 starts, Stymie, who was claimed for $1,500 by Hirsch Jacobs, won 35 races, with 33 seconds, and 28 thirds, for earnings of $918,485, a record at that time.

The STYMIE was run at a mile and a half prior to 1958; and at a mile and a quarter from 1961 to 1971. Run at Belmont Park from 1956 to 1961 and from 1968 to 1975.
