History

The event was inaugurated in 1997, the year Lone Star Park opened. The event was classified as a Grade III in 2000.[1] In 2001, Dixie Dot Com became the only horse to win in the same year the Lone Star Park Handicap and the Texas Mile Stakes, known as "The Texas Two Step." In 2013, Master Rick accomplished the same feat.[2]

In 2010, Rosie Napravnik became the first female rider to win a graded stakes race in Lone Star Park history.[1]
