The race is for horses three years old and older willing to race 1+ 1 ⁄16 miles on the turf and currently carries a purse of $250,000. This is a Grade II event and can be used as a prep for the Breeders' Cup Mile .
First run in 1959, the Bernard Baruch is named for the statesman , an adviser to various Presidents of the United States , and a lover of horses , thoroughbred horse racing , and the life of America's racetracks.

1+ 1 ⁄8 miles : 1979 on dirt
1+ 3 ⁄8 miles : 1980 on turf
† In 1979, the race was switched to dirt due to weather conditions. The race was run in two divisions in 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1972, 1973, 1981, and 1983.
