History[edit]

The event at Saratoga Race Course is named after the nearby city of Glens Falls, New York.

The inaugural running of the event was on 9 August 1996 over a distance of 1+3⁄8 miles for fillies and mares three-years-old and older and was won by the 17-1 longshot Ampulla who was ridden by Shane Sellers in a time of 2:16.49 by a two lengths margin.[1]

From 1998 to 2010 the event was run under handicap conditions.[2]

In 1999 the event was upgraded in classification by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association's American Graded Stakes Committee to Grade III.[2]

The Glens Falls Handicap was run in two divisions in 2004.[3]

The event has been taken off the turf due the state of the turf track three times and run at a shorter distance: 2000, 2001, 2013.[2][4]

In 2018 the event was upgrade to Grade II.[5]

In 2020 the conditions of the event were modified for entrance to fillies and mares aged four years old and older.[6]

In 2021 the distance of the event was increased from 1+3⁄8 miles to 1+1⁄2 miles.[7]
