Bing Crosby Stakes Race History

Origins and Evolution
Inaugurated in 1946 at Del Mar Racetrack, the Bing Crosby Stakes honors its namesake—entertainer, racehorse owner, and Del Mar co-founder Bing Crosby—and continues the legacy of the “Cool as Ever” seaside course that Crosby helped establish in 1937. From its early years as a prestigious six-furlong sprint, the race steadily rose in prominence, earning Grade III status in 1985 and being elevated to Grade I in 2004. Notably, from 2007 to 2014 it was contested on a synthetic surface before reverting to dirt in 2015, aligning once again with top-tier sprint standards.

Modern Era and Breeders’ Cup Connection
Today, the Bing Crosby Stakes is a signature event of Del Mar's summer meet—a $400,000, six-furlong sprint that serves as a “Win & You’re In” qualifier for the Breeders’ Cup Sprint since 2013. Its history is studded with star runners: dual winners like Kona Gold and Ransom the Moon; record-setting performances such as Lord Nelson’s 2016 timer of 1:07.65; and dominant figures including jockey Flavien Prat (six wins) and trainers Bob Baffert and Bruce Headley (four each). Highlights include Points Offthebench’s breakout victory in 2013 and The Chosen Vron’s repeat win in 2023, reinforcing the race’s reputation as a showcase for elite sprint talent.
