History

The race was inaugurated in 9 April 1985 and was run on the dirt track over a distance of 6 furlongs.[1] The following year the race was not held.[2]

In 1987 the event received sponsorship from the Breeders' Cup and Budweiser and was renewed at a new distance of 1+1⁄16 miles on the dirt track.[3] Budweiser terminated its sponsorship in 1996 and this affected the stakes of the event. The Breeders' Cup also removed their sponsorship but much later in 2006.[4]

The first running of the event on the turf was in 1999.[4]

In 2011 the event was upgraded to a Grade III event.[4]

The 2018 winner of the event, US Champion Male Turf Horse World Approval of 2017 resumed after winning the 2017 Breeders' Cup Mile starting as the overwhelming 1/5on favorite.[5]
