The race is considered a major prep leadup race to the Brisbane Cup. [1]

Due to track reconstruction of Eagle Farm Racecourse for the 2014–15 racing season the event was transferred to Doomben Racecourse. [6] With the poor state of the Eagle Farm Racecourse the event in 2017 was moved with the Queensland Oaks again to Doomben Racecourse [7] and in 2018 the meeting was moved to the Sunshine Coast. [8]
