The San Clemente Handicap is a Grade II American Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old fillies run over a distance of one mile on the turf at Del Mar Racetrack in Del Mar, California. It’s part of the seaside track’s summer stakes schedule and often serves as a key prep event for fillies targeting longer turf stakes later in the meet.
The 2026 San Clemente Handicap is scheduled for July 18th during Del Mar’s summer racing season.

Past winners include Anisette (GB), Laura's Light, and Storm Mesa; turf fillies that go on to compete in graded turf events later in the season, making this race a significant event for bettors and handicappers.
