Goldikova Stakes


The Goldikova is an American Thoroughbred horse race run in early November at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. The race is open to fillies and mares, age three and up, willing to race one mile on the turf. A Grade II event, it currently offers a purse of $200,000.
The Las Palmas Handicap was named for the California-bred racing mare, Las Palmas. Foaled in 1929, she won the first ever race at modern Santa Anita Park on December 25, 1934. Its name was changed with the closing of the Hollywood Park racetrack and moving the race to Santa Anita in 2012. It is now named in honor of Goldikova, the champion European racemare who won the Breeders' Cup Mile three times in succession - 2008, 2009 and 2010.
The race was also hosted by Santa Anita Park from inception in 1969 through 2009.
