History

[edit]

The inaugural running of the event was on 11 March 1954 as a six furlong dirt sprint for three year old fillies that was easily won by Queen Hopeful who was ridden by US Hall of Fame jockey John H. Adams and trained by US Hall of Fame trainer Harry E. Trotsek by a 3 lengths margin.[1]

Gulfstream Park did not schedule the event again until 1965 after an absence of 10 years. In 1965 and 1966 the event was still held for three year old fillies but the distance was increased to 1+1⁄16 miles.[2] In 1967 the event was held on the turf for the first time over a distance of one mile. The conditions of the event were changes to allow older mares compete under handicap conditions. In the first division Indian Sunlite set a track record for the mile in a time of 1:343⁄5.[3]

In 1969 the distance of the event was increased to 1+1⁄16 miles.[4]

In 1973 the first year the classification system was enacted, the event was set with Grade III status[4] and in 1981 the event was upgraded to Grade II.[5]

In 1986 the distance of the event was increased to 1+1⁄2 miles.[4]

In 2006 the event was downgraded to a Grade III event.[5] In 2008 the event's conditions were changed from handicap to stakes allowance with name of race changed back to the original name.[5]

In 2016 the distance of the event of was decreased to 1+3⁄8 miles and in 2022 was increased back to 1+1⁄2 miles.[5]

The event has been run in split division four times:[6] 1967, 1972, 1983, 1985
