History

The event was inaugurated on 19 December 1990 as the Miesque Stakes at Hollywood Park Racetrack as a race for three year old fillies over a distance of 1+1⁄16 miles and was won by Dead Heat in a time of 1:41 flat. [2] The following year the event was restricted to two-year-old fillies and the distance was decreased to one mile. [3]

The event was named in honor of the mare Miesque , who won the Breeders' Cup Mile twice and was the United States Champion Female Turf Horse in 1987 and 1988.

In 1995, the event was classified as Grade III. [3]

The 2005 edition of the Miesque Stakes had to be canceled because the newly planted Hollywood Park's turf course had failed to root properly. [4]

When Hollywood Park closed in 2013, the race was renamed in honor of the actor Jimmy Durante as part of a Del Mar rebranding initiative to evoke "old Hollywood cool". [5]
