The race has had several different names. In 1995 it was the Listed QTC Baguette Restaurant Handicap over 1820m when it was won by Prieur Way. It was the QTC Ramsey Health Care Handicap over 1820m until 2000 and then over 1800m from 2001. In 2004 and 2005 it was the Smith And Nephew Stakes over 1800m, then from 2006 onwards it was the Members Handicap over 1600m. In late 2024 it swapped positions in the racing calendar with the Bernborough Plate and was renamed the Members Mile. This meant in 2024 it was run on 18th May then again on 21st December. It also changed from a quality handicap to set weights plus penalties.

In 2022 it was moved to Eagle Farm due to heavy rain during the week before. In December 2024 it was also held at Eagle Farm.
