## History

[edit]

First run in 1940 at Longacres Racetrack in Renton as the Washington State Futurity, in 1993 the race was moved to Yakima Meadows in Yakima and to its present location in 1996. There was no race held in 1943 due to various federal government wartime restrictions.

The Futurity was renamed in 1971 to honor Joseph Gottstein (1891–1971), a racehorse owner as well as the builder and proprietor of Longacres Racetrack about whom the widely respected turf writer and founding president of the National Turf Writers Association Joe Hirsch called "one of the great figures in racetrack management".[3]
