ABOUT THE SANTA ANITA HANDICAP

The Santa Anita Handicap - long known by the locals as the Big 'Cap - boasts one of the most colorful histories in American racing lore. Since its 1935 debut, the Santa Anita Handicap's honor roll of winners include legends like Seabiscuit, Affirmed, Spectacular Bid, John Henry, Alysheba and the ever-popular Lava Man. The annual test at the classic distance of a mile and one-quarter matches the best older dirt route runners from California and across the country.
