It is one part of the Breeders Crown annual series of twelve races for both Standardbred trotters and trotters. First run in 1985, it is contested over a distance of one mile. Race organizers have awarded the event to various racetracks across North America. The 2017 race will be held at Hoosier Park in Anderson, Indiana, United States.

In her final start of 2014, JK Shesalady made the Breeders Crown her fourteenth straight victory in an undefeated season and would become the first 2-year-old filly in history to be voted the Dan Patch Harness Horse of the Year Award.
