An event for three-year-olds of either gender, it is contested at a mile and an sixteenth (eight and a half furlongs) on the dirt, and currently offers a purse of $150,000.

There was no race run in 2003 and the 2007 was held at Monmouth Park, the Meadowlands' sister track, on the Breeders' Cup undercard. It was again run at Monmouth Park in 2010 to the present.

It was formerly run at a distance of 1 1⁄8 miles. The 1996 edition was raced on the turf course.
