120 Running on Monday, September 02, 2024
One of the oldest and most prestigious races for 2-year-olds, the Hopeful had its inaugural edition in 1903 and was won by Delhi, who went on to win the Belmont Stakes the following year and become the first of more than a dozen Hopeful winners who triumphed in the 1 ½-mile “Test of the Champion.” The Hopeful was first contested at six furlongs; at 6 ½ furlongs from 1925-93, and at seven furlongs thereafter. The only dead heat in the Hopeful came in 2000 when Yonaguska and City Zip hit the wire together.
