(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The event was upgraded to a Grade III in 1988.[2] That year the event only attracted three starters with Gulch winning in an upset victory over the 1987 Breeders’ Cup Sprint winner and 1\/2 odds favorite Very Subtle by a 1+1\u20444 length margin.[3] Gulch won go on that year and win the Breeders’ Cup Sprint and be crowned the U.S. Champion Sprint Horse.With the seen quality of winners that were winning the American Graded Stakes Committee of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association upgraded the event to a Grade II in 1997.[4]Between 1996 and 2007, the Breeders’ Cup sponsored the event which reflected in the name of the event.[2]The event was held on the All Weather synthetic track between 2008 and 2010.[2] On return to holding the event on the dirt track in 2011 the conditions of the event were modified from handicap to an allowance.[2]In 2015 the administration of the Los Angeles Turf Club rename the event to the Kona Gold Stakes in honor of the dual winner of the event (2000 and 2001) Kona Gold[2] and third placegetter of the 2003 race.[5] Kona Gold had an outstanding record at Santa Anita Park with many wins on the Southern California circuit. His most important win was in the 2000 Breeders’ Cup Sprint which was vital in him being awarded the U.S. Champion Sprint Horse.In 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, Santa Anita closed their track and the event was cancelled.[6] In 2021 Cezanne defeated three other starters by a new record margin of 9+3\u20444 lengths[7] breaking a 31 year record that was set by Olympic Prospect in 1990 of seven lengths.[8]Other fine horses that have won this event and have gone on to win the Breeders’ Cup Sprint later in their career include Cardmania, Lit de Justice and Amazombie. The 2002 winner Kalookan Queen is the only mare to have won the event.[4]Records[edit]Speed record:1:13.71 \u2013 Son Of A Pistol (1998)Margins:9+3\u20444 lengths \u2013 Cezanne (2021)Most wins:2 \u2013 Amazombie  (2011, 2012)2 \u2013 Kona Gold (2000, 2001)Most wins by a jockey:Most wins by a trainer:Most wins by an owner:Winners[edit]YearWinnerAgeJockeyTrainerOwnerDistanceTimePurseGradeRefKona Gold Stakes2022Brickyard Ride5Juan HernandezCraig LewisAlfred A.
