The Twilight Derby is a Grade II American Thoroughbred horse race for three years olds over the distance of one-and-one-eighth miles on the turf scheduled annually in late October at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. The event currently carries a purse of $200,000.

History

The event was inaugurated on 18 October 1969 as the Volante Handicap at the Oak Tree Racing Association meeting at Santa Anita Park and was won by the Mrs. Howard B. Keck's entry Tell who was ridden by US Hall of Fame jockey Bill Shoemaker carrying the imposing weight of 130 pounds by {{frac|3|4}} of a length over Noholme Jr. in a time of 1:46{{frac|4|5}}. The event was named for Elias Jackson "Lucky" Baldwin's 1885 American Derby winner, Volante, who was ridden to victory by jockey Isaac Burns Murphy. Lucky Baldwin had built the original Santa Anita Racetrack Track in 1907 and Volante was buried at the track.{{cite web|url=https://laist.com/2008/10/04/laistory_lucky_baldwin.php |title=LAistory: Elias J. "Lucky" Baldwin |date= 4 October 2008 |first=Lindsay |last=William-Ross |work= Southern California Public Radio |accessdate=3 October 2020 }}

When the grading of races began as a Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association project in 1973 the event was classified as Grade III, however, the event was not held that year due to a strike by pari-mutual clerks.

In 1988 and 1989 the event was upgraded to Grade II before returning to Grade III.

In 1996 the event was once again upgraded to Grade II.{{cite web|url=https://www.equibase.com/profiles/Results.cfm?type=Stakes&stkid=14181 |title=Qatar Twilight Derby (Gr. 2) |work=Equibase |date=2020 |accessdate=3 October 2020 }}

In 1997 the event was renamed to the Oak Tree Derby after the Oak Tree Racing Association.

The event has been held on the undercard of the Saturday Breeders' Cup card in 2008, 2009, 2016, 2019 and 2023.
