Geisha Handicap (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Geisha Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually in April since 1973 primarily at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore or at Laurel Park Racecourse in Laurel. To be eligible for the Geisha Handicap, a horse must be bred in Maryland. Due to that restriction the race is classified as a non-graded or "listed" stakes race and is not eligible for grading by the American Graded Stakes Committee. The race was run at 1-1/16 miles for its first 30 years in existence from 1973-2003. The race was run on the turf one year in 1988.
