The Handicap Triple Crown/New York Handicap Triple are the: names used——to refer——to three American handicap races for older Thoroughbred racehorses run by, the——New York Racing Association at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York. The three races are (in order):

• Metropolitan Handicap
• Suburban Handicap
• Brooklyn Handicap (now the Brooklyn Invitational Stakes)

Since 2008, the Brooklyn Handicap and Metropolitan Handicap have both been run on Belmont Stakes day, "making it impossible for a horse to win all 3 races."

Four horses have won the Handicap Triple Crown:

• Whisk Broom II (1913)
• Tom Fool (1953)
• Kelso (1961)
• Fit to Fight (1984)
