Formerly called the New Brighton Derby Stakes from 1914 to 1925, the race was conducted by the New Brighton Trotting Cub and decided in the Autumn. In 1925, it was taken over by the Metropolitan Trotting Club and decided in the Spring. In 1982 it was switched to the Summer.

In 1968–1969, the race was 11⁄2 miles and in 1970–1972, 1m 5f. In 1973-83 it was a standing start race over 2600 metres.
