History

The event was inaugurated on 13 October 1969 as the Las Palmas Handicap at the Oak Tree Racing Association meeting at Santa Anita Park over a distance of miles on the dirt and was won easily by the 9/5 favourite Manta with a margin of five lengths. The Las Palmas Handicap was named for the California-bred racing mare, Las Palmas. Foaled in 1929, she won the first ever race at the modern Santa Anita Park on Tuesday, 25 December 1934.[1]

The following year the event was increased to miles and moved to the turf track with Manta winning the event for the second time.

When the grading of races began as a Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association project in 1973 the event was classified as Grade III.[2] In 1983 the event was upgraded to Grade II.[3]

In 2012 the event was renamed to the Goldikova Stakes in honor of Goldikova, the champion Irish bred mare who won the Breeders' Cup Mile three times in succession - 2008, 2009 and 2010. That same year the event was shortened to the one mile distance.[3]

The event has been scheduled at times during the Breeders' Cup. In 2017 and 2021 the event was moved to Del Mar.[3]
