The Providencia Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old fillies run annually during the first week of April at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. A Grade II stakes race, it is contested at a distance of 1 1/8 miles (9 furlongs) on the turf, and offers a purse of $150,000. In 2008, this race was upgraded from a Grade III to a Grade II, with its purse increased from $100,000 to $150,000. Inaugurated in 1981, it has been run at 1 1/8 miles for most of its existence. It was run at 1 mile in 2004 and from 2006 to 2009.
