The Thunder Road Handicap is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually in early February at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. (In 2014, 2015 and 2016 it was run in early April.) It is open to horses age four and older and is contested on turf at a distance of one mile (eight furlongs). A Listed race, it was upgraded to a Grade III event for 2009. However, due to wet weather the 2009 race was downgraded because it had to be taken off the turf and run on the Pro-Ride synthetic dirt track. It has now returned to a Grade III event.
