The event is named after Street Sense the 2006 U.S. Champion Two-Year-Old Colt who won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs and won the 2007 Kentucky Derby.

The event was inaugurated on 27 October 2013 and run over a distance of one mile and was won by John C. Oxley's Coastline.

His performance earned him U.S. Champion Older Male Horse honors.
