History
editThe event was inaugurated on 28 September 1985 as The Lexiable Stakes at one mile in distance over the dirt and was won by the Irish bred filly Alabama Nana who was trained by the US Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas in a time of 1:351⁄5.[1]
The following year the event was run in split divisions on the turf over a distance of 1+1⁄16 miles.[2]
In 1988 the event was classified as Grade III.[3]
In 1989 the event was renamed to the Noble Damsel Stakes[4] in honor of Noble Damsel, who won the 1982 New York Handicap at Belmont Park.[5]
In 1997 the distance of the event was shortened to one mile[6] In 2010 the conditions of the event were changed from a handicap to a stakes race with base weights with allowances.[6]
