Historical notes

The 1963 inaugural running was won by Prophet Wise under jockey José Olivares who would win the race again in 1967 and 1969. A 2005 inductee into the Finger Lakes Racing Hall of Fame, through 2019 his three wins is a record that has been tied but not broken.[3]

For 1966 only, the race was split into two classes, one for colts and geldings and the other for fillies.[1]

In 1990 a large field resulted in the race being run in two divisions.[1]

Rudy Rodriguez rode By the Light to victory in the 2007 Futurity.[1] Seven years later he won again, this time as the trainer of Good Luck Gus.[4] Rodriguez earned his third win overall when he trained Dream Bigger to win the 2019 running.[2]
