History

The event was formerly classed at Group 3 level. For a period it was restricted to horses aged four or older. The minimum age was lowered to three in 1995. It was run as an ungraded handicap from 1996 to 2002.

The Coppa d'Oro di Milano reverted to being a conditions race in 2003. From this point it held Listed status. It was closed to three-year-olds in 2007.

The race is currently staged at the same meeting as the Oaks d'Italia.
