History
[edit]The race was inaugurated on 10 May 1987 and was run as The Very One Handicap over a distance of one mile.[1]
The event was named after the winning mare The Very One[2] who won 22 races in her career including the Grade I Santa Barbara Handicap. The event was not held in 1988 and 1989.[3]

The event was predominantly run at 1+3⁄8 miles but was shortened to the current distance of 1+3⁄16 miles in 2016.[3] The distance of the event was returned back to 1+3⁄8 miles in 2022.[3]
