CONDENSED HISTORY OF THE SARATOGA HANDICAP. Tlie Saratoga Handicap is one of tlie list of new stakes inaugurated wiien William C. Whitney and bis associates took control of the Saratoga track and restored it to its old-time importance in the racing field. For its first year it was at a mile and an eighth and a mile and three-sixteenths in its second. Then it was advanced to its present distance of a mile and a quarter. One of the possibilities of its running tomorrow is a repetition of the placing of last year, but hardly a probability. The record of the event is: Year First. Age. Jockeys. Wt. Second. Age.
