The Santa Maria Stakes is an American Grade II Thoroughbred horse race run annually in late May at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California.
A race for fillies and mares age four and older, it is contested on Pro-Ride synthetic dirt over a distance of one and one-sixteenth miles (8.5 furlongs).
Since the inaugural running in 1934, the Santa Maria Stakes has been contested at various distances: The Santa Maria was run as a handicap from 1952 through 2010 and was raced in two divisions in 1983 and 1984.
The Santa Maria has been downgraded from a Grade I to a Grade II stakes race.
