The New York Derby was the second leg of the "Big Apple Triple," a grouping created in 1999 and discontinued after the 2015 running consisting of three races at three different racetracks in New York state and restricted to three-year-olds bred in New York state. A horse who wons all three of the Big Apple Triple would win the purse total of $400,000 plus a $250,000 bonus. The first leg was the Mike Lee Stakes run at Belmont Park, and the third leg was the Albany Stakes at Saratoga Race Course.
The New York Derby is held at the Finger Lakes Racetrack in Farmington, New York and is restricted to three-year-olds of either gender bred in New York state. It is run at a mile and one/sixteenth on the dirt (8.5 furlongs) and currently offers a purse of $150,000.
This race was called the New York Breeders' Derby from 1969 to 1971, the New York Derby Handicap in 1974, and the New York Derby from 1977 to date.
