Race history
The race is named after champion Australian Racing Hall of Fame mare Wenona Girl who won 27 races in the late 1950s and early 1960s. At the time of her retirement she was the highest stakes winning mare to have raced in Australia.[2]
In 2014 the race was named after champion jockey Roy Higgins (1938–2014) who had died early in the week of the scheduled race.
