Fall Highweight Handicap
109 Running on Friday, November 24, 2023
The FALL HIGHWEIGHT Handicap was inaugurated at Belmont Park in 1914. Now restricted to 3-year-olds and up, this race was open to all ages prior to 1959. The inaugural running was won by the 2-year-old-filly Comely. The Racing Secretary must assign at least 140 pounds to the top-weighted horse in this event.
The FALL HIGHWEIGHT Handicap was run at Belmont Park 1914-59, 1963-93. Run on the straight course prior to 1921, and 1926-39 and 1942-57. Run in two divisions in 1976. In 1918 Fairy Wand finished first, but was disqualified.
