Held on Memorial Day, it was an ungraded stakes race that had earned Grade III status in 2002-2007 and 2009-2010. The race was open to horses age three and older and was last raced on dirt over a distance of 11/16 miles (8.5 furlongs). With the Vietnam War officially ended on April 30,1975, the race was run as the Empty Saddle Handicap, done to demonstrate the real meaning of Memorial Day with a salute to the fallen soldiers of American wars. In 2014 Calder's racing operations were leased to the Stronach Group, operators of Gulfstream Park, who did not pick up this race for their 2015 program.[1] RecordsSpeed record:- 1{{Frac|1|16}} miles on dirt : 1:44.59 by Where's Sterling in 2012
