History

The race was inaugurated in 2011 [1] and the event was run over the 1 mile distance. [1]

The event is named in honor of the British mare Megahertz (GB) [2] who was trained by the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame trainer Robert J. Frankel. [3] Megahertz won two Grade I events including the 2005 Yellow Ribbon Stakes which was run at Santa Anita Park and the GII Santa Barbara Handicap twice (2003–2004). [4]

In 2016 the event was upgraded to a Grade III event. [5]
