New York Turf Writers Cup

The New York Turf Writers Cup is a steeplechase race for Thoroughbred horses held at the Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York each year. A Grade I event on the turf for 4-year-olds and up, this race currently offers a purse of $150,000.

The New York Turf Writers Association was founded in 1923. The race it engendered began in 1938 and is run over hurdles at two miles and three eighths. Zaccio is a two-time winner of this race. Happy Intellectual won this race three times in a row: at 10 in 1976, at 11 in 1977, and at 12 in 1978.
