"The Great Sermon Handicap" is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, and features the young gentleman Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves.

The story was published in The Strand Magazine in London in June 1922, and then in Cosmopolitan in New York that same month.

Eustace says that an acquaintance, Steggles, came up with a fun variation on the standard horse race: the Sermon Handicap.

To protect their bets, Bertie asks Heppenstall to preach his long sermon on Brotherly Love.

Bertie's syndicate placed ante-post (pre-event) bets; consequently, they will lose their wagers when Heppenstall fails to appear at the event.

The story was also collected in the 1979 anthology The Gambler's Companion with cartoons by Enzo Apicella, published by Paddington.

Each volume contains the English original and a phonetic transcription of it, with the following other languages and scripts: In 1930, some Cambridge undergraduate students founded "The Wooster Society" and repeated the Great Sermon Handicap.

The field included the bishops of Ely and Singapore, Monsignor Ronald Knox, and a missionary, the Rev.

The episode, titled "Jeeves and the Great Sermon Handicap", originally aired on 13 June 1965.

This story, along with the rest of The Inimitable Jeeves, was adapted into a radio drama in 1973 as part of the series What Ho!
