This didn't even used to be a graded race, as for the longest time it was merely a restricted race that few big name horses pointed for.

I think my favorite winners of this race were Cosmotron and Personal Hope.

I thought Leothelion might point here, after a nice maiden win a few weeks ago. Not sure if he's been on the work tab since his last race, though.

That's going back a bit. Personal Hope won the Santa Anita Derby I think that year... '92-'94? It was also oddly placed on the calendar for a long time too... Third Saturday of January maybe? Empire Maker flopped in it to start his 3yo campaign...

Yep. He did (PH) win the SA derby that year. That race didn't used to be used as a TC or SA Derby prep though.

Man Among Men spanked Empire Maker.

The race, at least since the late '80s, has always been at the end of February. Used to be called the Bradbury, and was restricted to non-stakes winners (hence the reason for no big names).

Where the hell is Pedigree Ann?

Wow. The Bradbury... ZERO recollection of that but I wasn't tuned in to the Cali circuit at that point at all. (This is a topic tailor made for Jon White tonight on ATR). I first took note of the Sham with USS Tinosa winning it. I liked him. Then I watched it as a race that was the first or one of the first 9f tests of the year. But then Master David and Going Wild won it and went downhill from there...

Some of the winners went on to be famous. Kris S. and later his son, Prized, won it. Dramatic Gold beat $1 million yearling Numerous in '94.
