When first contested in 1901, the Saratoga Special was a winner-take-all event for 2-year-olds for which owners could nominate their horses in sets of three for a single fee. However, each owner could only run one horse in the race – in other words, no entries were allowed. The conditions remained in place until 1959, when the Saratoga Special became a regular stakes race with individual nominations and entries. From 1901-05, it was run at 5 ½ furlongs and from 1906-1993 at six furlongs. In 1994, the distance was changed to 6 ½ furlongs.
