The race was first run in 1969 as an open race for two year as the Hyacinth Tokubetsu, [1] before becoming the Hyacinth Sho in 1970. The race became an open race in 1989, when it was changed to a turf race over a distance of 1,400 meters, before returning to dirt race in 1997, where the distance was extended to the current 1,600 meters, except for 2003 when it was held at Nakayama Racecourse over a course of 1,800 meters. In 2017, the race began to be included as part of the Road to the Kentucky Derby series. [2] [3]

The Hopeful Stakes (ホープフルステークス) is the only Grade 1 middle-distance race for two-year-old thoroughbreds in the JRA. This race was started as the Radio Tampa Hai Sansai Hinba Stakes, a mile race that was held at Hanshin Racecourse for two-year-old fillies. In 1991, not fillies but colts were allowed to run, with the distance extended to the current 2,000 meters. Its name was changed several times. This race was considered important because no other graded race over 2,000 meters for two-year-olds existed in those days. In particular, it was a good chance for horses with ambition for Triple Crown Races to experience a middle-distance race. In fact, some triple crown race winners had previously won this race. Logi Universe (2008) and One and Only (2013) won the Japanese Derby, Victoire Pisa (2009) won the Satsuki Shō, and Epiphaneia (2012) won the Kikuka Shō.
