Santa Anita Park, located in Arcadia, Calif., first held the Santa Anita Derby in 1935, making it one of the oldest stakes races for 3-year-old Thoroughbreds in the United States. As one of the major prep races for the Kentucky Derby, the Santa Anita Derby plays a crucial role in shaping the field for the prestigious Triple Crown series.
The Santa Anita Derby has been won by some of the greatest horses in racing history, including Swaps (1955), Affirmed (1978), Sunday Silence (1989), and California Chrome (2014), all of whom went on to achieve remarkable success on the national and international stage.
Hall of Famer Gary Stevens holds the record for the most victories by a jockey in the Santa Anita Derby, with a total of nine wins throughout his illustrious career. Legendary trainer Bob Baffert has dominated the Santa Anita Derby in recent years, accumulating numerous victories with notable horses including Point Given (2001), Pioneerof the Nile (2009), and Justify (2018).
