The Autumn Miss is an attractive betting race because a mile on the Santa Anita turf course requires a combination of tactical speed, positioning, and a strong finishing kick. Three-year-old fillies can arrive from turf sprints, route races, or graded company, giving bettors several different form lines to evaluate. Proven one-mile form, recent pace figures, trip history, and the ability to accelerate off the turn are especially important.
The 2026 nominations include runners from leading California barns such as Richard Mandella, Philip D'Amato, Bob Baffert, John Sadler, Doug O'Neill, Richard Baltas, and Leonard Powell. That variety should produce a competitive field once final entries are drawn. The 23 official nominees are listed above, with post positions, jockeys, and the latest odds to be added when Santa Anita publishes the final race card.

The Autumn Miss Stakes traces its history to 1981, when the race was inaugurated as the Yankee Valor Handicap. It later became the Harold C. Ramser Sr. Handicap before taking its current Autumn Miss name. The modern race is a Grade III turf mile restricted to 3-year-old fillies and has become a regular part of Santa Anita's fall stakes program.
Recent winners include Burgoo Alley (IRE) in 2021, Rhea Moon (IRE) in 2022, Ruby Nell in 2023, Watchtower in 2024, and Warming in 2025.
