Prior to 1993, the race alternated locations between Laurel Park and Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. The race has been run at four different distances: 1 1⁄8 miles, 1 1⁄16 miles, 1 mile, and 6 furlongs.[1]
The race was named in honor of William Jennings Sr. who was one of Maryland's all-time great horsemen. His Glengar Farm was located six miles from "Old Hilltop" (Pimlico Race Course) on Smith Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland. Jennings achieved national prominence in the late 19th century. Among his good horses was 1887 Preakness Stakes winner Dunboyne, whom he bred, owned and trained. His heritage continued through his grandson, U.S. Racing Hall of Fame trainer Henry S. Clark, regarded by many as the dean of Maryland horse trainers.[2]
