Winged Foot Handicap
The Winged Foot Handicap was an American Thoroughbred horse race open to two-year-olds of either sex. A race on dirt, it was run annually at Brighton Beach Race Course in Brighton Beach, New York from inception in 1896 through 1908 before being canceled for the next two years as a result of New York state's Hart–Agnew Law anti-betting legislation. The ensuing financial losses meant that the Brighton Beach Race Course was never able to reopen and in 1910 the race was revived at the Empire City Race Track for what would turn out to be its final running.
