Hollywood Turf Cup Stakes


The Hollywood Turf Cup is an American stakes race for thoroughbred horses formerly run at Hollywood Park Racetrack until that track's closing. It now takes place at Del Mar Racetrack during its Fall Meet in late November. A Grade II event, it is open to horses, age three and up, and run at a distance of one and one-half miles. The Hollywood Turf Cup currently offers a purse of $200,000.
Horses who previously ran in the Breeders' Cup Turf will sometimes run in the Turf Cup since it is the last major turf race of the year. As with all Hollywood Park turf stakes it was on hiatus in 2005.
John Henry's win in 1983 made him the first racehorse to surpass $4 million in career earnings. 1991 winner Miss Alleged is the only filly to ever win this race.
The race was run in two heats in 1982. It was raced at miles in 1982, 1983 and 1984.
The race was first run in 1981 and became a Grade I event in 1983. It was downgraded in 2012 and is now a Grade II race.
