Inaugurated in 1976 as a one mile race, it was run at a mile-and-a-sixteenth from 1977 to 1992, and again in 1994. In 1995 the distance reverted to its original one mile.

The race was run at Saratoga Race Course in 2013.

The race was named after the great U.S. Racing Hall of Fame filly, Shuvee, winner of the 1969 Fillies Triple Crown.
