On Saturday February 10th, Golden Gate Fields will host the $100,000 El Camino Real Derby. The El Camino Real Derby is a Listed American Thoroughbred horse race held in February at Golden Gate Fields in Albany, California. The race is open to three-year-olds willing to race one and one-eighth miles. Northern California’s premier Kentucky Derby prep, the El Camino Real Derby was first run in 1982.
It was hosted by Bay Meadows racetrack until its closing in August 2008. Originally a Grade III race, the event was downgraded in 2018 to listed status. It was part of the Road to the Kentucky Derby, but no longer so for the 2024 Kentucky Derby.
