*In 1916 and 1917 replacement races were staged at Windsor over its 3 mile figure-eight course.
1884: 3 miles 6 furlongs
1885-1893: 3 miles 2 furlongs
1894-1963: 3 miles 4 furlongs
Until 1951 the race was run at the Easter Meeting. In 1952 the race was moved to January, but the first three renewals had to be cancelled due to weather and in 1957 it reverted to Easter.
The notation "hb" indicates the horse was considered a "Half-bred"--somewhere in its lineage a horse not entered in the General Stud Book appeared. Some half-bred female families were traced, recorded and subsequently designated with a "B" before a number. See Half-Bred Foundation Mares for more information. In some cases, the horse's dam or her lineage was traced, but not assigned a number, and in some cases the dam or lineage simply is not now known.
