The event currently carries a purse of $250,000. The race was named in honor of actor and Del Mar Racetrack co-founder, Pat O'Brien (1899β1983). Pat O'Brien, a classic character movie actor who often appeared in a James Cagney starring vehicle, loved the races. The inaugural running of the event was on 25 September 1980, the twelfth and final day of the Del Mar Fair meeting. The event was for two-year-olds, over a distance of 7 + 1β2 furlongs on the turf track and was won by Elmendorf Farm's Seafood in a time of 1:30 2/5. In 1986 the administration of Del Mar renewed the event during their summer meeting as a sprint handicap over seven furlongs on the dirt. Between 1990β1995 and 2004β2006 the race had Breeders' Cup incentives which were reflected in the name of the event. [Win and Youβre In] The event was classified a Grade III event in 1994 and upgraded to Grade II in 1999. In 2009 the event became a Grade I and after three runnings it was downgraded back to a Grade II stakes.
