History

The race was inaugurated on 2 October 1948 as the Golden Gate Mile and held on the dirt track. The event was won by Prevaricator who was entered as an entry with the 1948 American Champion Older Dirt Male Horse Shannon II in equal world record time of 1:3425 equaling Equipoise record from 1932. [1]

Two years later in 1950, Triple Crown champion Citation confirmed his greatness with a world record performance in winning the event by 34 of a length over Bolero in 1:3335 breaking stablemate Coaltown's world record from the previous year. [2] The 1955 event was won by the 1954 Kentucky Derby winner Determine, who won by a neck defeating Santa Anita Handicap winners Rejected and Irish bred Poona II who finished second in a dead heat. [3] The brilliant Californian horse Native Diver raced in the event four times winning it twice in 1963 and 1967 as an eight-year-old.

In 1956, the event was renamed to the San Francisco Mile Handicap [4]

The event was run on the turf in 1953 but was not regularly scheduled again until 1972.

The event was classified as a Grade III in 1987 and a Grade II between 19942010. [5]

The only mare to win this event was the French-bred mare Tuzla in 1999. [6]

Between 2001 and 2005 the event was held at Bay Meadows Racetrack. [5] Since the 2006 the event has been run as San Francisco Mile Stakes. [5] Between 1999 and 2006 the event had additional Breeders' Cup incentives. [5]

The event has been split into divisions four times [7] - 1964, 1966, 1972, 1984.
