Open to three-year-old horses, it is a non-graded stakes raced on turf that has been contested at a distance of six furlongs since 2007. The race currently offers a purse of US$70,000.

Inaugurated in 1952 as the Debonair Stakes, it was renamed in 1991 to honor Harry Henson, a former jockey who was Hollywood Park's race caller from 1958 to 1982.
