Open to horses age three and older bred in the State of New York, it is contested on dirt over a distance of one and one eighth miles (9 furlongs).
Inaugurated in 1981, the race is named for the village of Kings Point, New York on the north shore of Long Island, New York which is home to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
