Santa Anita's Spring Meet, which will run from May 5 through July 10, will feature 16 graded races, including five Grade I events. The Spring stakes schedule is anchored by the June 25 $500,000 GI Gold Cup at Santa Anita. The meet's first Grade I offering will be the $300,000 GI Gamely S. May 30. The GI Vanity S. and GI Shoemaker Mile will both be worth $400,000 and will be run June 4. The $300,000 GI Triple Bend S. shares the June 25 card with the Gold Cup.
This will be Santa Anita's third spring meet. The Arcadia track took over the dates after Hollywood Park closed in 2013. Last year's spring meet featured six Grade I events. The GI American Oaks, first run at Hollywood Park in 2002, has been run during the spring at Santa Anita the last two years, but the turf race is expected to be run in December this year.
