The event has a long and inconsistent history since its first running in 1895 as the '''Louisville Handicap'''. The inaugural event was held at a distance of {{frac|1|1|4}} miles on the dirt on 15 May 1895 as the third event on a six race card attracting four runners which was won by the favorite Henry Young.<ref name=R1895/> The event was shortened for the next running in 1896 but was not held in 1897.<ref name=Pedigree>{{cite web|url=https://www.pedigreequery.com/index.php?search_bar=stakes&query_type=stakes&field=view&id=1582|title=LOUISVILLE HANDICAP – MULTIPLE TRACKS|work=Thoroughbred Pedigree Online|date=2020|accessdate=11 June 2020}}</ref>

Between 1900 and 1906 the event was not held and when it was resumed in 1907 it was held at the shorter distance of six furlongs.<ref name=Pedigree/>

Between World War I and World War II the event was only held once in 1938 at the longer distance of {{frac|1|1|16}} miles.<ref name=Pedigree/> In 1946 the event once again resumed in the late fall, initially as the Churchill Downs Special and then back to the original name in 1947 at the distance of {{frac|1|1|8}} miles.<ref name=Churchill/> After being idle between 1953 and 1956, the event was rescheduled back to the spring at the shorter distance of {{frac|1|1|16}} miles.<ref name=Churchill/>

In 1987 the event was carded for the turf course for the first time at a distance of one mile.<ref name=Equibase/> The distance has been increased three times with current distance set in 2007.<ref name=Equibase/> The event was run in divisions in 1991.<ref name=Equibase/>

The event was classified as a [[Graded stakes race|Grade III]] in 2002 and has held that grading since.<ref name=Equibase/>
