History
[edit]The event is named after Sands Point, New York, a village located at the northernmost tip of the Cow Neck Peninsula on the North Shore of Long Island.
The event was inaugurated on 23 June 1995 as the Sands Point Handicap and was run over the 1+1⁄16 mile distance with Perfect Arc ridden by US Hall of Fame jockey John R. Velazquez winning the event by five lengths over the odds-on favorite Miss Union Avenue in a time of 1:43.14.[1] Perfect Arc in 1995 was crowned New York State Horse of the Year. [2]
In 1997 the distance of the event was increased to 1+1⁄8 mile.[3]
In 1998 the conditions of the event were changed from a handicap to stakes allowance race.[4] That same year the event was classified as Grade III.[3]
In 2001 and 2003 the event was downgraded to a Listed event when it was raced on the main track due to inclement weather.[3]
In 2008 the event was upgraded to Grade II.[4]
In 2020 the distance of the event was decreased to one mile and the following year the distance was reverted to 1+1⁄8 miles.[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
