The Desert Stormer Stakes is a Listed American Thoroughbred horse race for fillies and mares age four and older run over a distance of six furlongs on the dirt held annually in March at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California.
History
The inaugural running of the event was on 8 November 1997 as the Desert Stormer Handicap over a distance of 6+1⁄2 furlongs at Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood, California as the first race on the undercard for the Breeders' Cup program. The event was named in honor of Desert Stormer, winner of the 1995 Breeders' Cup Sprint. The following year the event was moved to the spring meeting and held in late April.
In 1999 the distance of the event was decreased to six furlongs.
The event was upgraded to Grade III in 2001.
However, the event was downgraded to a non-graded stakes after the 2005 Grade III edition.
In 2014 with the closure of Hollywood Park Racetrack the event was moved to Santa Anita Park and continued to be scheduled in June as stakes race with allowances.
The event was reinstated with Grade III status for the 2017 running.
In 2023 the event was scheduled in March and the conditions of entry were changed from three-year-olds and over to four-year-olds and over.
In 2024 the event was downgraded by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association to Listed status.
