San Vicente Stakes

The San Vicente Stakes is an American thoroughbred horse race run annually at Santa Anita Park.

Inaugurated in 1935 as the San Vicente Handicap, it was open to older horses until 1937.

In 2009 Evita Argentina became the third filly to win this race in 68 runnings.

[3] The race was once frequently used as an early prep for the Kentucky Derby for horses such as Swaps.

Silver Charm, who won the San Vicente in 1997, went on to win that year's Derby and Preakness Stakes.
