The COACHING CLUB AMERICAN OAKS is the second leg in the newly designed New York Filly Triple Tiara; the series, which was redesigned in 2003, starts with the Mother Goose and concludes with the Alabama Stakes at Saratoga.

In 1917, the first winner of the Coaching Club American Oaks was James Butler's Wistful. In 1949, 32 years later, Wistful again was the winner's name, but this filly was owned by Calumet Farm. The race is named in honor of the Coaching Club of America one of the requisites for membership was the ability to handle a coach and four horses with a single group of reins. August Belmont II set the original conditions to emulate the Epsom Oaks (now the Epsom Derby) in England.

The COACHING CLUB AMERICAN OAKS was run at a mile and a furlong in 1917; a mile and three furlongs from 1919 to 1941, and from 1944 to 1958; a mile and a quarter from 1990 to 1997; and a mile and a half in 1942 and 1943, from 1971 to 1989, and again from 1998 through the present. Run at Aqueduct from 1963 to 1967. Run as a handicap prior to 1928.
