The Palomar Handicap was first run in 1945 as a six furlong race on dirt for three-year-olds. It was not run again until 1952 when it was made an event for three-year-old fillies. After being put on hiatus again, it became an annual event in 1955. Since 1970, it has been contested on turf. From its inception, the race has been contested at various distances:

  • 6 furlongs : 1945–1969
  • 7.5 furlongs : 1970–1976
  • 8 furlongs (1 mile) – 1977–1987
  • 8.5 furlongs (1+1⁄16 miles) : 1988–present

It was raced in two divisions in 1970, 1971, 1973, 1982, and 1991.

This race is now called the Yellow Ribbon Handicap. (The original Yellow Ribbon Stakes run during the Oak Tree Racing Association Meeting is now called the Rodeo Drive Stakes.)
