The Hanshin Cup Stakes at Arlington Park in Illinois is run in May every year on the venue’s synthetic Polytrack surface, similar to the one used at Lingfield Park and Kempton in England.
The race is run over a mile and is for all those aged three and over, runners compete for a purse of $100,000.
Initiated in 1941 and run as the Equipoise Mile, it was also staged as the Equipoise Handicap various times over the years and was hosted across town at Washington Park during the War.
While the race was struck from the calendar between 1970-1978, 1988, and 1998-1999 but was reborn as the Hanshin Cup Handicap in 2000 before finding its current place, recent winners include Crewman, Matrooh, and Lanier.
