ELMONT, N.Y. – The Grade 1 Carter Handicap, moved from Aqueduct to the Belmont meet and scheduled for June 6, has been designated a Win and You’re In race for the Breeders’ Cup Sprint on Nov. 7 at Keeneland.

The Carter, run at seven furlongs, was originally scheduled for April 4 at Aqueduct, but was postponed when that track’s spring meet was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Carter will replace the John A. Nerud as a Win and You’re In race for the sprint division. The Nerud, originally scheduled for July 4, was not brought back when the Belmont Stakes schedule was revised for the now 25-day meet.

As the first Grade 1 race of the year to be run in New York, the Carter is expected to attract a large field led by Grade 1 winners Firenze Fire and Mind Control. Others pointing to the race include Bon Raison, Killybegs Captain, Network Effect, and Nitrous. Nicodemus and Wicked Trick are possible.
