History

The race was inaugurated in 2014[2] with a stakes purse of $200,000.[3]

In 2016 the event was classified as Grade III.[3]

The race is named after the Graded stakes winner Pennine Ridge who in 1994 won the Jamaica Handicap, Hill Prince Stakes and Choice Handicap.[4]

The event is considered a preparatory race for the Belmont Derby which is held in July.

In 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, NYRA schedule the event at a shorter distance of one mile.[5]

In 2021 the event was moved off the turf due to the inclement weather which affected the turf course. Subsequently the event was downgraded to Grade III.[6]

In 2024 the event was moved to Aqueduct Racetrack due to infield tunnel and redevelopment work at Belmont Park.[7]
