The Belmont Oaks became a Grade I race in 1999. It was previously known as the Garden City Stakes from 2007-2013 when it was run in September at 1 1⁄8 miles. From 1996-2006, it was called the Garden City Breeders' Cup, and the Rare Perfume before that. The latter name was in honor of George Widener's racing mare, Rare Perfume. The Garden City name referred to Garden City, New York, a village in the Town of Hempstead in central Nassau County located near the racetrack.[3]

gollark: My server is however connected to my router via Ethernet, and my laptop over accursed powerline links.

gollark: It's basically the same principle, just higher frequency than normal "radio" things.
