The Delaware Handicap is a race for thoroughbred race horses run at Delaware Park each year. The race is open to filles and mares, age three and up, willing to race one and one-quarter miles on the dirt. This Grade II race (upgraded in 2003) carries a purse of $1,000,000.

The great mare, Our Mims, won this race in 1977, the year she was champion three-year-old filly. Old Rosebud won it back in 1915 or 16.
