History
The event is named after Federico Tesio (1869–1954), one of the most successful horse breeders in the sport's history.
The race was given Group 2 status in the 1970s. It was cut from 2,200 to 1,800 metres in 1985. It was relegated to Group 3 and restored to 2,200 metres in 1988.
The Premio Federico Tesio was promoted back to Group 2 level in 2011.
