Known as the Shirley Jones Handicap until 2009, it was renamed for the racing mare Inside Information, winner of the 1995 Breeders' Cup Distaff who was voted that year's American Champion Older Female Horse.
The race was run at six furlongs in 1976 and 1979 as the Shirley Jones Stakes and was open to three-year-old fillies. In 1976 the distance was set at 1 1⁄16 miles (8.5 furlongs)[3] and in 1979 at six furlongs.[4]
In 1983, the race was run in two divisions.
