Inaguarated in 1991, the race was named in honor of the great filly Miesque, a member of the French Horse Racing Hall of Fame and the United States Racing Hall of Fame. When Hollywood Park closed in 2013, the race was renamed in honor of the actor Jimmy Durante as part of a Del Mar rebranding initiative to evoke "old Hollywood cool".
The 2005 edition of the Miesque Stakes had to be canceled because of problems with Hollywood Park's turf course.
