The Suburban Handicap is an American Grade I stakes race for Thoroughbred race horses aged three and older run at the classic one-and-one-quarter mile distance on the Belmont Park dirt for a $400,000 purse. The Suburban is the final of the three races that compose the New York Handicap Triple series of races, as it follows the Metropolitan Handicap and the Brooklyn Handicap.

In Excess set the track record for the race in 1991 with a time of 1:58.33.

The Suburban will have had its 120th running in 2006. First held at Leonard Jerome's Sheepshead Bay Race Track in 1884, it stayed at that location until 1913. For 1915 alone, the Suburban was held at Empire City; afterward, it was moved to Belmont Park and there it has remained except for the races of 1961 to 1974 and 1976. During that time, the Suburban was hosted at Aqueduct Racetrack. The race was not run for three years: 1911, 1912, and 1914.

Four horse have won the Handicap Triple:

Two racehorses have won the Suburban twice: Kelso (1961 and 1963) and Crusader (1926 and 1927).

The list of former winners is like a who's who of the race horse world, featuring some of American racing's greatest champions. The first mare to win the Suburban Handicap was the great Hall of Famer, Imp.
