Over the years the race has been won by great New Zealand racehorses such as Rough Habit (1992), Solveig (1986) and Copper Belt (1977)[1].
Over its history the race has been named based on its sponsors, such as the Fayette Park Prized Stakes in 2001, in the 1990s the Television New Zealand Stakes and in the 1970s and 1980s the Marlboro Mile, Penfolds Chardon Mile, DB Mile, Double Brown 1600 etc.
In 2009 the race date was moved from the end of October to the beginning of December, to address the disadvantage the race had due to its close proximity to the running of the Hawke's Bay Spring Carnival.[2]
