Restricted to the 3-year-old progeny of New York stallions, the Cab Calloway was first run in 2003 at six furlongs on the dirt. In 2004 and 2005, it was contested at 1 1/8 miles on the dirt. Moved to the turf in 2006, it was run at 1 1/8 miles on 2006-07, at 1 1/16 miles in 2008-10 and thereafter at a mile on the grass. In 2011, when its sister race, the NYSS Statue of Liberty, did not fill, the race was run as the New York Stallion Series Stakes. The race was named for the popular jazz singer and band leader Cabell “Cab” Calloway III, a native of Rochester, N.Y. who died in 1994.
