History

The race was inaugurated in 14 March 2001 as the Marshua's River Stakes over a much shorter distance of about 5 furlongs[1] and named after the winning mare Marshua's River[2] who won nine races in her career including the Grade III Suwannee River Stakes.

The event has been run at the current distance of 1+1⁄16 miles since 2005.[3]

The event was upgraded to a Grade III event in 2011.[4]

In 2021 the event was run over a distance of 1 mile.[3]

In 2022 Gulfstream Park administration rebranded the event as part of the Pegasus World Cup and renamed the event as Pegasus World Cup Filly and Mare Turf Invitational with a significant increase in the purse to $500,000.[5] The distance of the event was reverted back to 1+1⁄16 miles.

In 2024 the event was upgraded by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association to a Grade II.[6]
