The New Rochelle Handicap was an American Thoroughbred horse race first run at a distance of seven furlongs on dirt in 1899 at Morris Park RacecourseinThe Bronx.[1] When that racetrack closed in 1904 the race was transferred to Belmont ParkinElmont, New York where it remained through 1910 until further restrictions were added to the Hart–Agnew Law by the New York Legislature that ended all racing in New York State.[2] Although racing returned in 1913, the New Rochelle Handicap was not run again until 1918 when the Empire Racing Association revived it at its Empire City Race TrackinYonkers, New York.[3] The 1923 race was transferred to Belmont Park.[4] In 1943, the race was moved to the Empire Racing Association's Jamaica Race CourseinJamaica, New York which closed on August 2, 1959.[5]

In its final decade, the New Rochelle Handicap was contested at a distance of six furlongs.
