History

The event was inaugurated on 30 December 1978 at Aqueduct Racetrack and run on the dirt track.^[1]

The race is named in honor of Elizabeth Arden's Beaugay, the American Champion Two-Year-old of 1945.^[2]

In 1979, the Beaugay Handicap was raced in two divisions.^[3][4]

In 1983 NYRA moved the race to Belmont Park and was run on the turf course in early June.^[1]

Due to bad weather in 1998 that severely affected the turf course, the race was run on the dirt track at a distance of one mile.^[1]

In 2024 the event was moved to Aqueduct Racetrack due to infield tunnel and redevelopment work at Belmont Park.^[5]
