History

The event is named in honor of the Canadian bred mare Sugar Swirl[1] who was owned by Stronach Stables. The Stronach Group are the owners of Gulfstream Park where this event is held.

The race was inaugurated in 1981[2] and the event was run as the First Lady Handicap.[2] At that time the event was held in January and the conditions of the race were for fillies and mares that were four years old or older.

In 2008 Sugar Swirl won this event and in 2010 the event was renamed to the Sugar Swirl Stakes.[3] The event was moved to December in 2011 and there were two runnings of the event that year.
