The Laffit Pincay Jr. Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. Run at 1+1⁄16 miles on the dirt, the race is for horses aged three and upward and carries a purse of $200,000.

The race was inaugurated in 1935 as the San Antonio Handicap. It has been a Grade II event since 1990, and was changed from handicap to allowance conditions in 2011. The race was traditionally run in February and was frequently used as a prep race for the Santa Anita Handicap. In 2017 the race was run once in February, and then again on December 26 (opening day of the Santa Anita winter-spring meet) to serve as a prep race for the Pegasus World Cup.[2]

In November 2024 Santa Anita renamed the race in honor of Hall of Fame jockey Laffit Pincay Jr., who won the San Antonio five times over three decades.[3][4]
