History

edit

The event is named in honor of United States Triple Crown and Hall of Fame trainer Lázaro "Laz" Barrera.

The inaugural date of the event is unclear since there are two separate races that converged into the current event. The Los Angeles Turf Club, which holds the event at Santa Anita, believe that the current Lázaro Barrera Stakes had its beginnings with the Playa Del Rey Stakes, which had its first race in 1953 at Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood, California.[1] This event was ment for Californian bred three year old fillies at a distance of 7 furlongs.[2] The event took place one more time in 1954 and then again in 1995.

The other path merits consideration, regarding the first race of the Affirmed Handicap in 1981,[3] the event was named after the 1978 United States Triple Crown Champion Affirmed who was trained by Lázaro Barrera. This event was held in the fall and was changed in 1991 by the Hollywood Turf Club to the Lazaro S. Barrera Handicap[3] four years before the renewal of the Playa Del Rey Stakes in 1995, the implied predecessor to the current event.

In 1999 the Hollywood Turf Club scheduled the Lazaro Barrera Memorial Stakes in late May at the current distance of 7 furlongs.[3]

The event was upgraded to a Grade II event in 2002, and was downgraded to Grade III in 2007.[3] In 2013 the event was run as the Listed Came Home Stakes.[3] In 2022 the event was downgraded to Listed.[3]
