The Lincoln Handicap is a flat handicap horse race in Great Britain open to thoroughbreds aged four years or older. It is run over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres) at Doncaster in late March or early April. It is traditionally the feature event on the first Saturday of Britain's turf flat racing season. It usually takes place one or two weeks before the Grand National, and for betting purposes the two races form the Spring Double. ==History== An event called the Lincolnshire Handicap was established at Lincoln in 1849. It was run over a distance of 2 miles in August.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=JOQNAAAAQAAJ&pg=RA1-PA70&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U0xPO3-CWZGVMWZH3_eCyOnJCEa9g&ci=49%2C744%2C478%2C668&edge=0 )〕 The venue introduced the Lincoln Spring Handicap at a new fixture in March 1853.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=rOQNAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA60-IA3&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U2LBj-ykYGCHHGtm_WzHpsUQL49wA&ci=511%2C123%2C463%2C1314&edge=0 )〕 The first two runnings were over 1½ miles, and it was shortened to a mile in 1855.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=zOQNAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA6&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U079awkn98nh4BfCm0uXZ2rQYbuJQ&ci=499%2C257%2C439%2C801&edge=0 )〕 The summer race ended when the meeting was temporarily discontinued in the 1850s. The spring version was renamed the Lincolnshire Handicap in 1860.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=VOUNAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA96-IA3&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U0gcYikP0CCEjyxCDAzirZlaqXdrA&ci=32%2C4%2C569%2C578&edge=0 )〕 The race continued to be held at Lincoln until 1964. It was transferred to Doncaster in 1965, following the closure of its former venue. From this point it was known as the Lincoln Handicap. The bookmaker William Hill supported the Lincoln Handicap for several years prior to 1997. The company started a new period of sponsorship in 2006 which ran until 2014. Since 2015 the race has been sponsored by the bookmakers Betway.
