History

The event was inaugurated during the first racing season at Del Mar race track on 31 July 1937 as the Escondido Handicap over a distance of six furlongs for horses three-year-old or older. The event was an under card event on Del Mar Handicap day. The winner was Clean Out and the second and third place getters were mares. [1] The event was held once more in 1938 but was interrupted for 11 years and did not resume until 1949 as an event for three-year-old fillies. [2] In 1950 the event was held for two-year-olds as the Escondido Stakes. [3] The event was idle for three years from 1952 and when it was resumed in 1955 the distance was set to 1+1⁄16 miles. [4]

In 1956 the Irish-bred Poona set a new track record for the 1+1⁄16-mile distance of 1:40.20. [5]

In 1962 the event was moved to the new turf track and run over the mile and one-eighth distance. [4]

Between 1963 and 1984 the event was held in split divisions eight times. [6]

From 1976 to 1988 the event was held over the mile and one-sixteenth distance with the exception of 1984 when it was held over 7+1⁄2 furlongs [4] and in 1985 when the event was not held due to a boycott by trainers. [7]

In 2007 the event was renamed in honor of National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame inductee, the Chilean-bred Cougar II as the Cougar II Handicap who had set a course record when winning this event in 1970. [8]

The race from 1988 to 2007 was run as an overnight restricted handicap for horse three-years-old who had not won a sweepstakes during the year over a distance of 1+3⁄8 miles. [4]

In 2008 the event was moved to the new Polytrack artificial dirt surface which was installed at the track and the distance of the event was extended to 1+1⁄2 miles. The event continued to be held on this surface until 2014. [4]

In 2010 the event was classified by the American Graded Stakes Committee as a Grade III race. [9]

The winner had automatic qualification for a berth in the Breeders' Cup Marathon before that race was discontinued in 2013.

In 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the event was canceled and not rescheduled. [10]

In 2021 the conditions of the event changed from a handicap to stakes with allowances and hence the name of the race was modified to Cougar II Stakes. [9]
