The Roger Williams Handicap was an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Narragansett Race Track in Pawtucket Rhode Island and named for the founder of the State of Rhode Island. The track sat on land just west of the Ten Mile River which Roger Williams traveled down after being banished from Massachusetts in 1636. The track management had purchased the land from the former What Cheer Airport in 1934.
