From inception, the Tidal Handicap was run in late June or early July until 1991 when it was moved to a run date in mid-October.[1]
The Tidal Handicap was the third of Belmont Park's four major summer grass races for older horses. The unofficial series began with the Red Smith Handicap (G2) in early June, followed by the Bowling Green Handicap (G1) in mid-June, and finished with the Sword Dancer Handicap (G1) at the end of July.[2]
