In 1891, the New Jersey Legislature began a move to ban parimutuel betting and the Oaks had to be moved to the Jerome Park Racetrack in The Bronx, New York. With a legislated permanent ban, after the 1893 running the Monmouth Park Racetrack was shut down and the property sold. years. In 1946, Thoroughbred racing returned to a new Monmouth Park racing facility. The revived Monmouth Oaks was set at ​1 1⁄16 miles and in 1997 Blushing K. D. set the existing record for that distance at 1:41.80.

Over the years, the Oaks has been won by some of the best fillies in the United States including U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductees, Miss Woodford (1883), Firenze (1887), Dark Mirage (1968), Gallant Bloom (1969) and Desert Vixen (1973).

It is currently a Grade III stakes race with a purse of $100,000 divided 60% to the winning owner, 20% to second, 11% to third, 6% to fourth and 3% to fifth. There was no race held in 2003.
