Watch the 2026 Santa Ysabel Stakes
History of the Santa Ysabel Stakes
The Santa Ysabel Stakes was first run in 1968 at Santa Anita Park and has long served as an early season test for three year old fillies on the West Coast. In its early years, the race occasionally attracted large enough fields to be split into divisions, highlighting its popularity among regional trainers. The distance and conditions have varied over time, including a brief shift to a shorter sprint distance, before the race settled into its current role as a route event.
Over the years, the Santa Ysabel Stakes has become an important stepping stone within Santa Anita’s series of races for three year old fillies. Its placement ahead of the Santa Anita Oaks allows trainers to evaluate developing runners as they stretch out and face tougher competition. Adjustments to its timing on the racing calendar have further aligned the race with the broader national prep schedule, increasing its relevance beyond the West Coast.
The race has produced several notable winners who went on to achieve success at the highest levels of the sport. Standout fillies such as Songbird and Midnight Bisou used the Santa Ysabel as a launching point for championship campaigns, helping to elevate the race’s profile. Its inclusion in the Road to the Kentucky Oaks has further strengthened its importance, awarding qualifying points toward a start at Churchill Downs.
Today, the Santa Ysabel Stakes remains a key early indicator of talent in the three year old filly division. With its established place in the prep season and its connection to later spring targets, the race continues to offer fans and bettors a valuable look at emerging contenders on the path to the Kentucky Oaks.
