# Brooklyn Stakes

The Brooklyn Stakes (formerly known as the Brooklyn Handicap) is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually in early June at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, on Long Island. It currently is a Grade II event open to four-year-olds and up willing to race one and one-half miles on dirt. It was a Grade 1 race prior to 1993.

## Historical notes

First run on May 14, 1887, at Gravesend Race Track on Coney Island, New York, it was won by Emery & Cotton's Dry Monopole in track record time for the mile and one-quarter distance. A versatile horse, a year earlier on June 15, 1886, Dry Monopole had won America's first ever Thoroughbred flat race on turf. The Brooklyn Handicap quickly became one of the top attractions on the New York racing circuit, drawing some of the best Thoroughbreds.
Not run 1911–1912 due to the New York's Hart–Agnew Law which banned parimutuel betting
The race was once the second leg of what is sometimes referred to as the New York Handicap Triple series of races. It was preceded by the Metropolitan Handicap and followed by the Suburban Handicap. Four horses won the Handicap Triple:
* Whisk Broom II (1913)
* Tom Fool (1953)
* Kelso (1961)
* Fit to Fight (1984)
The race is currently run on the same day as the Metropolitan Handicap, so it is no longer possible to win the Handicap Triple.
