History

The event was inaugurated on 18 May 1952 as the Sea Breeze Stakes and was run at Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood, California before a crowd of 41,369. [1] The event was run over 6 furlongs on the dirt and was won by Tonga in an upset starting at 51-1 defeating Princess Lygia and A Gleam. [1]

The event honors the outstanding California bred mare, Honeymoon who won several races at Hollywood Park including the inaugural running of the Hollywood Oaks in 1946. Honeymoon was also successful at Santa Anita Park winning the 1948 Santa Maria Handicap.

The event was changed to the Honeymoon Stakes in 1956 then the Honeymoon Handicap in 1975. [2]

The event was run in divisions in 1957 and 1965. [2] The event was first run on the turf track in 1973.

The event was a Grade II from 1998 to 2018. [3]

After the closure of the Hollywood Park Racetrack in 2013 the event has been held at Santa Anita Park. [3]

The Honeymoon is a major leading prep race for the Grade I American Oaks run during the first part of July.
