Since inception in 1881, the Spinaway has been run at different distances:
The Spinaway was hosted by Belmont Park in 1943, 1944 and 1945. It was not run from 1892 to 1900. The race was cancelled in 1911 and 1912 following a New York State legislated ban on parimutuel betting.
In 2016, Sweet Loretta and Pretty City Dancer finished in a dead heat for first place. Both fillies were sired by leading sire Tapit.
