History

The inaugural running of the event was on 17 February 1974 as the Las Cienegas Handicap, a sprint over the Downhill turf course over a distance of about 6+12 furlongs for horses that were four-years-old or older. The event was won by Woodland Pines who was ridden by US Hall of Fame jockey Donald R. Pierce in a time of 1:13 flat. [1]

The following year the event was not held. [2]

In 1976 the event was run with conditions for three-year-olds only on the dirt track over a distance of six furlongs. The event was won by Life's Hope who later that year would win the Grade 1 Jersey Derby. In 1977 the event was scheduled in April as with handicap conditions for fillies and mares age four and up over a distance of six and one-half furlongs on the Downhill turf course. The event continued to be scheduled usually in April until 2017 when it was moved to January. [3]

The event was upgraded in 1992 by the American Graded Stakes Committee to Grade III race. [3] In 2013 the event's conditions were changes to a stakes allowance race and the name modified to Las Cienegas Stakes. [3]

The event has been moved to the dirt due to weather conditions in 1979, 1982, 1983, 1986, 2012, 2016, 2017 and 2019. [3]

In 2012 the event was moved to the dirt track and was won by Mizdirection. Mizdirection later that year would return to Santa Anita and win the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint. Mizdirection would repeat the unique double in 2013 again winning both events. Mizdirection is the only dual winner of the event. [4]

Due to poor state of the Downhill turf course in 2020 and 2021 the event was held on the proper turf course at a shorter distance. [2] On 11 January 2020, the Las Cienegas Stakes was run for the first time at a distance of 5+12 furlongs on turf. Brazilian import Jolie Olimpica, making her first start in the United States, set a new Santa Anita Park course record of 1:01 flat for that distance. [5]

In the 2021 running of the event Charmaine's Mia set a new course record for the 6 furlong distance. [6]
