Fleetwing Handicap
The Fleetwing Handicap was an American Thoroughbred race for horses age three and older that was run between 1908 and 1953. Inaugurated at Empire City Race Track in Yonkers, New York it remained there through 1942 with the exception of 1915 when it was temporarily hosted by Belmont Park. In 1942 the Empire City Racetrack ended Thoroughbred racing, reverting to its origins as a facility exclusively for harness racing. As such, in 1943 the Fleeting Handicap was transferred to the Jamaica Race Course in Jamaica, Queens, New York.
