In what year did the park where the Sleepy Hollow Stakes is held in the fall first open?
Sleepy Hollow Stakes The Sleepy Hollow is an American ungraded restricted stakes race for two-year-olds Thoroughbreds held in the fall at Belmont Park, New York. Though not restricted to New York bred horses, this is not an open race: it is considered a race on the New York bred schedule.
Matron Stakes (Belmont Park) The Matron Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually during the Fall at Belmont Park in Elmont, Long Island, New York (but was just lately a Spring/Summer event along with the Futurity Stakes). Open to two-year-old fillies, it is contested on dirt at a distance at seven furlongs. It is a former Grade I stakes but since 2007 has been a Grade II event. In effect, it is a filly counterpart to the Belmont Futurity Stakes. It is now a Grade III event.
