Distances:
1919 - 1921: 1-9/16 miles (2500 meters, 12.5 furlongs)
1922 - 1923: 1-1/2 miles (2400 meters, 12 furlongs)
1924 - 1993: 1-9/16 miles (2500 meters, 12.5 furlongs)
2006 - 2008: 1-1/2 miles (2400 meters, 12 furlongs)
2009 - Present: 1-9/16 miles (2500 meters, 12.5 furlongs)

First running limited to 3 year old colts and fillies. After that, various conditions and allowances imposed resulting, ultimately, in a "bad handicap." Revised as a weight-for-age race for 3 year olds and upwards, geldings excluded.

An earlier Gran Premio de Madrid, for 3 year olds over 2500 meters, was instituted in 1881 at the old Castellana race course (Hipódromo de la Castellana). It was first called the Gran Premio de Madrid, changed to the Gran Premio Nacional, and then La Copa de su Majesdad el Rey. The modern-day Gran Premio de Madrid is considered to have been instituted in 1919, first held at Casa Real el Hipódromo de Aranjuez/Legamarejo; it was opened to older horses, and intended as an international race. It was moved to the Hipódromo de la Castellana until that racecourse closed in 1933. In 1933 it returned to its original venue at Aranjuez, and in 1934-35 was run at San Sebastián. In 1941 it was moved to the new Hipódromo de la Zarzuela. La Zarzuela went bankrupt in 1994, and the race was not held until new management re-opened the course in 2006.
