The Eddie D Stakes is one of Santa Anita Park's premier turf sprints. The Grade II race is contested at about 6 1/2 furlongs over the track's distinctive hillside turf course, a configuration that combines downhill running, a right-hand turn and a crossing over the main dirt track before the stretch.
The $200,000 race regularly attracts accomplished turf sprinters and provides an important late-season opportunity for older horses competing in the sprint division.
