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]
