History

Inaugurated in 1988, it was run as a handicap through 2012 but since has been run under allowance weight conditions. It was upgraded to Grade II status in 1995.[1][2]

The Buena Vista Handicap was run in two divisions in 1992.[2]

It was taken off the turf and run on the dirt course in 2017 due to poor conditions on the turf course. When a graded stakes is taken off the turf, the race is automatically downgraded one level for that running only. After the race, the American Graded Stakes Committee meets to review the race's running and determine if its former status should be reinstated. In the case of the 2017 Buena Vista Stakes, it was decided that the race's status would not be reinstated and as such it was recorded as a Grade III event.[3]
