History

The inaugural running of the event was on 25 August 1974 as the Eddie Read Handicap with Elmendorf Farm's My Old Friend winning as the 9-1 longshot winning by 3⁄4 length in a time of 1:491⁄5. [1] The event was named in honor of William E. (Eddie) Read who served as the publicity directory at Del Mar and died 28 May 1973. [2]

In 1980 the event was upgrade by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association to Grade III. [3] Two years later the event upgraded once more to Grade II. [4] With the stake money increasing yearly and the quality of the entrants running the race performing well in high level events the event was upgraded to the highest classification of Grade I in 1988. [3]

In the Breeders' Cup era the event became a logical preparatory race for both the Breeders' Cup Mile and Breeders' Cup Turf. The 1993 winner of the event, the French-bred Kotashaan, went on to win the Breeders' Cup Turf and later was voted to win US Champion Male Turf Horse and US Horse of the Year honors.

In 2006 the Irish-bred Aragorn set a new stakes and track record of 1:44.79 winning by four lengths as a 3-2 favorite. [5]

In 2009 the conditions of the event were changed from handicap to stakes allowance and the name of the event was modified to the Eddie Read Stakes. [3]

In 2016 the event was downgraded to Grade II. [4]
