The Chicago Handicap is a Grade III race for Thoroughbred fillies and mares, ages three and up, set at seven furlongs and held in June at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. It offers a purse of $100,000.
The race began in 1986 at Arlington Park in Arlington Heights, Illinois. In 2007, the race was moved to a synthetic surface when Arlington Park switched its main track from dirt to an all-weather course. The Chicago Handicap was switched back to dirt in 2017, when it was moved to Churchill Downs.[1] Arlington Park was cutting back on its stakes races in order to boost overnight race purses, and Churchill Downs, which is owned by the same company, picked up both the Chicago Handicap and the Matron Stakes.[2]
