History edit

The event was inaugurated on 4 January 2000 at a distance of about 1+18 miles and was won by Office Miss by the shortest of margins, a nose over Seducer in a time of 1:48.93.[1]

In 2004 the event was decreased to its present 1+116 miles.[2]

The event was upgraded to Grade III status in 2008.[3] That year's winner, Dreaming of Anna, was the 2006 Eclipse Award Juvenile Filly champion.[4] The 2012 Endeavour winner, Zagora, went on to win the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf and the Eclipse Award in that category.[5] The 2016 winner Tepin was named US Champion Grass Mare in both 2015 and 2016 and won the 2015 Breeders' Cup Mile.[6]
