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: And has almost certainly been patched by now?

gollark: As I said, presumably DRM stuff. Content like movies probably goes through special pipelines designed to not let you copy/screenshot/etc, which is ultimately futile but implemented anyway.
gollark: It's probably due to DRM stuff.
