The Eddie Logan Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race for two-year-olds run at the Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California late in the year. An ungraded stakes, it's set at a distance of 1 mile on the turf, and currently offers a purse of $75,000 plus.
Begun in 2006, this race is named for Eddie Logan (May 20, 1910 - January 31, 2009), the "foot man," who worked at the track for 74 years, beginning on the track's opening day: December 24, 1934, shining shoes and cheering hearts. Logan was in the winner's circle to present the first winning trophy. [1]
This race was formerly known as the Hill Rise Stakes. In 2002 Peace Rules won, with Singletary placing.
