Opening Verse Handicap
The Opening Verse Handicap is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually in early June at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. A non-graded stakes race open to horses age three and older, it is contested on turf over a distance of a mile and a sixteenth.
It currently offers a purse of $100,000.
The race is named for Opening Verse, winner of the 1991 Breeders' Cup Mile at Churchill Downs.
In 2009, Churchill Downs announced that the Opening Verse Handicap was placed on hiatus.[1]
In 2013, this race was held off the turf.

gollark: zbkgovernment is too long.
gollark: Why would you do such a thing?
gollark: I think you might run into the issue of the servers trying to channel heat in ways which aren't ideal if you *want* heating, and also noise.
gollark: Probably.
gollark: Though obviously you'd want some way to ensure they're updated and don't become part of botnets or something.
