Grade I Delaware Handicap highlights

2017 Stakes Schedule at Delaware Park

Wilmington, Del., February 1, 2017 — The $750,000 Grade I Delaware Handicap highlights the 2017 stakes schedule at Delaware Park this season.

The mile-and-a-quarter filly and mare summer classic will be run for the 80th time on July 15^th.

Last year, the Del ‘Cap was run as a Grade I race for the fourth time since 1989.  Fletcher and Carolyn Gray’s locally-based I’m a Chatterbox posted a 2 ¼-length victory over Paid Up Subscriber.  After winning the Grade I Spinster at Keeneland, the Kentucky-bred conditioned by Delaware Park-based trainer J. Larry Jones completed her season with a fifth-place finish in the Grade I Breeder’s Cup Distaff at Santa Anita on November 4^th.

“It is always exciting when hometown connections win the premier race of the meet, but it is especially exciting when it is done by a world-class filly,” said Executive Director of Racing John Mooney.  “I want to congratulate team I’m a Chatterbox. We are very much looking forward to her 2017 season.  The Delaware Handicap has always been an important date on the filly and mare national stake schedule and I am sure the upcoming 80^th renewal of this historic classic will continue the proud tradition.”

The supporting feature on the Del ‘Cap card is the $200,000 Grade III Kent Stakes for 3-year-olds at a mile-and-an-eighth on the grass.  The $50,000 Carl Hanford Memorial Overnight Stake, for 3-year-olds and upward at a mile-and-a-sixteenth, and the $50,000 Hockessin Overnight Stakes, 3-year-olds and upward at six furlongs, will also be scheduled as part of the card.

The local Delaware Handicap prep, the mile-and-an-eighth $100,000 Obeah Stakes, will be run on June...
