The original CARTER HANDICAP was run in 1895 and had a gross value of $600 of which $500 was contributed by Captain William Carter of Brooklyn, a contractor and tugboat captain. Because of his gesture the race was named for him. The CARTER Handicap will always by remembered for the triple dead heat it produced in 1944, when Bossuet, Brownie, and Wait a Bit could not be separated at the wire.

The CARTER was run at old Aqueduct from 1895 to 1945 and from 1947 to 1955; and at Belmont Park in 1946, from 1956 to 1959, from 1968 to 1974, and in 1994. Not run in 1909,1911, 1912, and 1913. Run at a mile and a quarter in 1895; a mile and a furlong in 1896; a mile and a sixteenth in 1897; about seven furlongs in 1898; and at six and a half furlongs from 1899 to 1902. Run in two divisions in 1977 and 1978

The triple dead heat in 1944 among Bossuet, Wait A Bit, and Brownie is the only such finish in American stakes history. There was also a Dead Heat between Quiet Little Table and Gentle King in one of the two divisions run in 1977.

In 1999, Artax broke Dr. Fager’s seven-furlong Aqueduct track record (set in 1968), completing the seven furlongs in 1:20. That victory also established a new stakes record for the Carter Handicap.
