Massachusetts Handicap
The Massachusetts Handicap, frequently referred to as the "MassCap", is a flat thoroughbred horse race for three-year-olds and up held annually at Suffolk Downs in East Boston, Massachusetts, United States. It is currently an ungraded stakes race run over a distance of 9 furlongs on dirt. The race received Grade III status by the American Graded Stakes Committee for 2009,〔(Seven Additional Graded Stakes in 2009 )〕 but the race was never held. The MassCap was stripped of its graded status in 2011 as a result of not being run for two consecutive years.〔(Thirteen Fewer Graded Stakes in 2011 )〕
==History==
The MassCap had been a graded stakes race from 1973 through 1989. Notables horses such as Riva Ridge, Dixieland Band, and Private Terms all won during this time frame. In 1987, Waquoit beat Broad Brush in a thrilling race. In the 1955 Massachusetts Handicap, jockey Sam Boulmetis, Sr. rode Helioscope to a track record time of 2:01 for 1¼ miles.
The Suffolk Downs track continued to fight for its economic life since closing for a three-year period beginning in 1989. The MassCap has been a frequent casualty of those circumstances.〔(Suffolk Downs Economics )〕 On August 7, 1937, the great Seabiscuit won his seventh consecutive stakes race in track record time for the $70,000 purse of the 1937 MassCap.
