The inaugural running of the race was run as the Queensland Oaks Stakes during the Christmas meeting at Eagle Farm on 27 December 1951 when short odds-on favourite Malt Maid was victorious.[2] By 1953 the race was run on the Queensland Cup race card in November.[3] The race was moved as part of the Brisbane Winter Carnival in 1973.[citation needed]
