The Yaddo Handicap is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually during the third week of August at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. The mile and an eight race on turf is open to fillies and mares, age three and older that were bred in the state of New York.
The race was run at a distance of seven furlongs from 1980 to 1982. It was run in two divisions in 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, and 2005. Run on dirt prior to 1989, due to the turf course conditions in 1990 and 2002 it was switched to dirt.
The race is named for a community near Saratoga Springs for artists, writers, and composers.
