Sheepshead Bay Race Track From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sheepshead Bay Race Track was an American Thoroughbred horse racing facility at Coney Island, New York. It was built by a group of prominent businessmen from the New York City area who formed the Coney Island Jockey Club in 1880. Led by Leonard Jerome and the track's President, William Kissam Vanderbilt, the Club held seasonal race cards at nearby Prospect Park fairgrounds until construction of the new race course was completed in 1884.

The new Sheepshead Bay Race Track's premier event was the Suburban Handicap and four years later in 1888 the first running of the Futurity Stakes took place on Labor Day. At the time, the Futurity was the richest race ever run in the United States. Today, both the Suburban and the Futurity are ongoing Graded stakes races held at the Belmont Park racetrack in Elmont on Long Island.
