A Grade II event open to horses, age three and up, it is contested over a distance of one and one-sixteenth miles on Cushion Track synthetic dirt.
Named for the American film director, Mervyn LeRoy who was a racing enthusiast and one of the track's founders, the Mervyn LeRoy Handicap carries a purse of $150,000 and is a prep to the Hollywood Gold Cup.
