History

The event was inaugurated on 30 October 1974 as the Morvich Handicap at the Oak Tree Racing Association meeting at Santa Anita Park as the eighth race on the racecard over a distance of 6+12 furlongs on the dirt.[1]

The event was named for Morvich,[2] an American Champion Two-Year-Old Colt who in 1922 became the first California-bred racehorse to win the Kentucky Derby.

The following year the event scheduled for the Downhill Turf course at the distance of about 6+12 furlongs.

In 1999 the event was classified as Grade III[3]

In 2010 the Oak Tree Racing Association meeting was held at Hollywood Park Racetrack and the race was shortened to six furlongs.[4]

In 2012, the Morvich Handicap was renamed to the Eddie Delahoussaye Stakes (often shortened to just "Eddie D") in honor of the US Hall of Fame jockey.[5] Eddie Delahoussaye rode the Tsunami Slew to victory in 1984 running of the event.[3]

The event was upgraded to Grade II for the 2019 running.[3] Also that year the event run at the shorter five furlong distance with Santa Anita Administration not holding events on the Downhill Turf course.[6] The event returned back to the Downhill Turf course in 2021.[7]
