The race began in 1902 as a sporting way of deciding who among a group of young men on the Manor had the fastest and best jumper. Harry T. Pearce, John Rush Streett, J.M. Pearce, Charles M. Pearce and Walter Hutchins were the originators. In the years since, the descendants of some of these men, plus a lengthening list of other families - Bosley, Bonsal, Brewster, Cocks, Fisher, Griswold, Fenwick, Janney, Voss - have supplied two or more generations participating in these races as either riders, owners or trainers.
