History
The event was inaugurated in 1968 as the San Simeon Handicap[1]
Due to course conditions, several runnings of the event were taken off the turf and run on the dirt track.[1]
The event was upgraded to a Grade III event for 1984.[1]
In 2013 the race was renamed to the San Simeon Stakes.[1]
The event was originally scheduled in April but the Los Angeles Turf Club in 2017 moved the race to the Memorial Day weekend at Santa Anita. In that same year the Los Angeles Turf Club renamed the race to the current name.[2] The original Daytona Stakes was renamed to the San Simeon Stakes.[3]
In 2019, the distance was shortened by over a furlong, and the event started on the backstretch of the turf oval.[1] In 2020 the event was extended to 5 1⁄2 furlongs.[1]
Distance
The race has been run at a variety of distances and track surfaces. The race was originally run on the dirt but in 1980 was switched to the downhill turf course. Since that time, it has only been run on dirt when the turf course was unusable due to weather-related conditions.[4]
