The race lost it Group classification in 2006.

The race is considered a lead-up to the Group 2 Blue Diamond Prelude C&G the following month and both races are used as lead-up races to the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes in late February at Caulfield.[1] The race is usually held on the Australia Day public holiday.
Along with this event the Blue Diamond Preview Fillies is held.
