Begun in 1867, it is the oldest of the three races and the longest, though not held in 1911 and 1912 due to anti-gambling legislation in New York. It was held at various New York tracks until 1905 when Belmont Park became the permanent location. It is also known as "The Run for the Carnations" because the winning horse is draped with a blanket of white carnations.
