History
The race was inaugurated in 2008[1] and was raced in September.[1] All other times it has been held in either July or early August.[1]
The event is named in honor of Quick Call, the multiple graded stakes winning gelding who won more than half his 16 career victories at the Saratoga Race Course.[2] Quick Call was a duel winner of the GII Forego Handicap, lived to the age of 35 and is buried at Clare Court in Saratoga Springs.[3]
The 2010 running was on the Inner Turf course at a distance of 1 mile.[1]
In 2019 the event was upgraded to Grade III.[4]
