The race was run in two divisions in 1961 and 1963. It was not run in 1974.

In 1973 the event was given Grade II status. It held this classification until 1994 when it was downgraded to Grade III.

In 2016 the event was renewed as the Rainbow Stakes at Santa Anita Park[2] and renamed back to the Cinema Stakes in 2019.
