History

The event was inaugurated on 21 March 1999 at a distance of miles with conditions for fillies and mares three-year-old and older and was won by the 7-10 odds-on favorite Pleasant Temper who was ridden by US Hall of Fame jockey Pat Day in a time of 1:42.62.

In 2004 the distance of the event was increased to miles (9 furlongs).[1] That same year the event was upgraded to Grade III.

The event was upgraded to Grade II status in 2016.[2]

The winner of the 2012 Hillsborough, Zagora, won the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf and was voted an Eclipse Award in her category. Tepin, a two-time Eclipse Award winner, set a new course record when winning the race in 2016.[3]
