The very first running of the Ottawa Stakes was in 1978, with Stage Hit racing to victory. Since then it has had a variety of different names, but in 2019 it ran under the original name.

The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable has had great success in the Ottawa Stakes over recent times, winning it twice in the last four years. The first of those victories was in 2016, when Joao Moreira rode Invincible Star to victory, a year later Setsuna also crossed the line first for the training combination.

2019 winner Aryaaf clocked 0:58.53 to win the Ottawa Stakes, however, it was not the fastest time in the race over the last 20 years. That honour belongs to Concealer, who crossed the line first in 2015 in a time of 0:57.33.
