Jennings Handicap
Horse race
The Jennings Handicap is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Laurel Park Racecourse in Laurel, Maryland . Raced in December each year, it is open to horses age three and older that are registered Maryland-breds and is contested on dirt over a distance of 1 mile (8 furlongs ).
Prior to 1993, the race alternated locations between Laurel Park and Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore . The race has been run at four different distances: 1+ 1 ⁄8 miles, 1+ 1 ⁄16 miles, 1 mile, and 6 furlongs.[ 1]
The race was named in honor of William Jennings Sr. who was one of Maryland's all-time great horsemen. His Glengar Farm was located six miles from "Old Hilltop" (Pimlico Race Course ) on Smith Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland . Jennings achieved national prominence in the late 19th century. Among his good horses was 1887 Preakness Stakes winner Dunboyne , whom he bred, owned and trained. His heritage continued through his grandson, U.S. Racing Hall of Fame trainer Henry S. Clark , regarded by many as the dean of Maryland horse trainers.[ 2]
