The Woodlawn Vase and the Preakness Stakes
The Woodlawn Vase, 34 inches in height and weighing 29
pounds, 12 ounces, was created by Tiffany and Company in
1860 for R. Aitcheson Alexander as a trophy for the now
defunct Woodlawn Racing Association in Louisville,
Kentucky. Created as a challenge cup, the Woodlawn Vase
was first awarded to Captain R.G. Moore's mare, Mollie
Jackson, in 1861. The same owner retained possession the
following year through the victory of the mare Idlewind. More

The Basic Belmont Stakes Betting Terms
First, let's get a definition of the term used for horse
race betting, handicapping. Handicapping means
evaluating the various factors of a horse's history,
then balancing that information against the same
info on horses in the same race. Simply put, it is the
technical way of determining which horse will win
a given race. Factors to study include pedigree,
trainer, jockey, class, track, pace and speed.
Pedigree
A horse's ancestral line. If a horse's sire or dam were
winners, then chances are that horse could be a winner
also.
Trainer
The person responsible for a horse's development and
race preparation. Not to be confused with the owner,
whose claim to the horse is purely financial.
Jockey
The person who rides the horse during a race. If you
didn't know that already, you may want to avoid
handicapping and stick to the mint juleps.
Class
The level or quality of race at which a horse is
running. Most well-known races are graded, Grade I being
the highest, Grade III the lowest. For instance, if a
horse which normally runs in only graded races were
to step down in class and run in a non-graded race, that
horse would be a sure favorite. If a horse were
stepping up in class, that horse might, though not
always, be less of a favorite. Movements between class
is a great way to distinguish horses in a given race.
Track
The actual place where the race is held. Often times a
horse that races well on one track will struggle on
another.
Pace
How a horse likes to run a race. Some horses like to
take the lead early and try to hold it, others like
to reserve energy and come from behind. Pace and the
distance of a race go hand-in-hand.
Speed
How fast a horse usually runs. Speed horses generally
take to the lead early and establish pace.
Those with stamina hope to outduel speed runners by the
end of the race.
