Open to three-year-old fillies, the event is contested on dirt over a distance of one mile (8 furlongs). The race is a Grade III event with a purse of $150,000 and has been a prep race to the Triple Tiara of Thoroughbred Racing, including the Kentucky Oaks, the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes and Mother Goose Stakes.

Run during the third week of March, the Bourbonette Oaks currently offers a purse of $100,000.
