Inaugurated in 1956 at the Fort Erie Racetrack, the race was named in honor of Bold Venture, winner of the 1936 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes.
This race was upgraded to a Grade III event in 2012.[1]
Fatal Bullet set a new track record time for the 6+1⁄2 furlong distance of 1:14.54 when winning the 2008 renewal.[2]
