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]
