Tiburon Handicap
The Tiburon Handicap is an American Thoroughbred ungraded stakes race for three-year-old fillies run early each year at Golden Gate Fields. Set at a distance of six furlongs, the sprint now offers a purse of $75,000.
The Tiburon is named for the once fishing village across the San Francisco Bay from the track. The word "tiburon" is Spanish for "shark."

gollark: Anyone interested in the latest version of my egg-time-finding Firefox extension? It has a hide/show mode and attempts to actually show the time of death (not sure if it works in different time zones, though).
gollark: I'm no longer playing much so this accidentally happened to me.
