The Thunder Road Handicap is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually in early February at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia California. (In 2014 it was run in early April.) It is open to horses age four and older and is contested on turf at a distance of one mile (eight furlongs). A Listed race it was upgraded to a Grade III event for 2009. However due to wet weather the 2009 race was downgraded because it had to be taken off the turf and run on the Pro-Ride synthetic dirt track.
