History
The race was inaugurated as a supporting race (Race 7) on the Stradbroke Handicap racecard on 6 June 1992.[2] Recently the race has been scheduled on Queensland Oaks day but was moved in 2013 to Stradbroke Handicap day. The race was upgraded to a Listed race in 2003.
Due to track reconstruction of Eagle Farm Racecourse for the 2014–15 racing season the event was transferred to Doomben Racecourse and run over a slightly shorter distance.[3]
