History

The event was inaugurated in 2004 as the Daytona Handicap.[1]

Due to course conditions, several runnings of the Daytona Handicap were taken off the turf and run on the dirt track.

The event was upgraded to a Grade III event for 2009.[2]

In 2011 the race was renamed to the Daytona Stakes.[1]

The event was originally scheduled in February but the Los Angeles Turf Club in late 2012 moved the race to the start of the winter racing meet at Santa Anita whereby the race was run twice in the calendar year.[1]

In 2016 the Los Angeles Turf Club renamed the race to the current name.[3] The original San Simeon Stakes was renamed to the Daytona Stakes.[4]

Since 2020, the race is shortened to the current 5.5 furlongs on turf, using the backstretch start.
