The race is named for the town of Schuylerville, New York, which is adjacent to Saratoga Springs. The race was hosted by Belmont Park in 1943, 1944, and 1945 when races were moved from Saratoga due to World War II, and in 1952 at the now defunct Jamaica Race Course. Inaugurated at a distance of five and one-half furlongs, it was contested at that distance through 1959 and from 1962 through 1968. It was run in two divisions in 1959, 1965, and 1974.

In 2006, the race was downgraded from a Grade II to a Grade III.
