The race is named after the mare Dark Jewel, who is considered one of the most prodigious post World War II Australian broodmares. [3] She had eleven foals of which five were Group race winners (Baguette, Betelgeuse, Birthright, Cabochon and Heirloom). [4]

The race is held in Scone, New South Wales in the Hunter Valley which is world renowned for the horse breeding farms in the area. [5] The 2020 event was held at Rosehill Racecourse due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [6]
