The San Luis Rey Handicap is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. Held during the third week of March, the Grade II event is open to horses of either gender, age four and up, willing to race one and one-half miles (12 furlongs) on the turf. The race normally begins on Santa Anita's downhill chute; from this position horses race down the hill and cross the dirt track before running one complete lap of the main turf course. Prior to 1955, the race was restricted to California-foaled three-year-olds and in 1958 and 1959 to three-year-olds and up. It was contested on dirt at 7 furlongs in 1952, 6 furlongs in 1953, one mile in 1954, and at miles in 1962. The race was transferred to the dirt track in 1975 and in 1989 was started on the backstretch instead of its normal position on the hillside. Two divisions were run in 1966, 1967, 1968 and 1970. In its 65th running in 2016, Bright Thought won with a final time of 2:22.72, a world record time for miles that stood for only one week; Twilight Eclipse lowered the standard at Gulfstream Park one week later. ==Records== Speed record: (at current distance of miles) * 2:22.72 - Bright Thought (2013) Most wins: * 2 - Cedar Key (1965, 1966) * 2 - Noble Dancer (1978, 1979) * 2 - John Henry (1980, 1981) * 2 - Bourbon Bay (2010, 2012) Most wins by a jockey: * 7 - Bill Shoemaker (1956, 1957, 1961, 1966, 1967 (2), 1970) Most wins by a trainer: * 9 - Charlie Whittingham (1970, 1975, 1977, 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「San Luis Rey Handicap」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
