First run in 1883, the New Jersey Legislature passed a law in 1894 that banned parimutuel betting in the state and the track closed its doors. In 1946, the state legislature passed a bill providing for state regulation of horse racing and the Sapling Stakes was revived.
In 1952, the race was run in two divisions.
Its purse has been reduced from $150,000 to $100,000.
This race was downgraded to a Listed Status for its 2014 running.
