The race is named in honor of Tempted, voted U.S. Champion Handicap Mare in 1959.

In 1976, the race mare, Pearl Necklace, won this race. Our Mims placed. In 1979, it was won by the future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee Genuine Risk and in 1990 by another future Hall of Famer, Flawlessly.

For 2011 only, the distance was shortened to 6 furlongs. It was changed from Aqueduct to Belmont Park and moved to earlier in the month as a prep for the inaugural Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint that was run on November 4 of that year.
