Wood Memorial

94 Running on Saturday, April 07, 2018

The Wood Memorial is one of the major prep races on the Road to the Kentucky Derby. It is run over a distance of 9 furlongs on dirt. The race was named to honor Eugene D. Wood, a New York State politician and horse racing enthusiast who had been a founder and past president of the old Jamaica Racetrack where the race was run until 1960. On five occasions, the Wood has been run in two divisions, resulting in two winners in 1944, 1945, 1947, 1974, and 1983.
