The 123rd running of The Toboggan Handicap was run in 2016. Before 1896, it was called the Toboggan Slide because it took place on the downhill Eclipse course at Morris Park Racecourse in the Bronx. The Toboggan Slide was not run in 1891 or 1895. The Toboggan Handicap was not run in 1911 and 1912.

In 2015, it was run in early February.

Since inception, the Toboggan Stakes has been contested at two different distances:

  • 6 furlongs: 1890–1993, 2005–present
