History

The event was originally held at Newmarket, where it was called the Bentinck Stakes. It was named after Lord George Bentinck (1802–1848), a successful racehorse owner. It was established in 1986, and was initially a 5-furlong race with Listed status. It was extended to 6 furlongs in 1993, and promoted to Group 3 level in 2003.

The race was transferred to Ascot and renamed the Bengough Memorial Stakes in 2008. Its title was shortened to the Bengough Stakes in 2010. It was formerly staged in mid-October, but it is currently held in the early part of the month.

The Bengough Stakes is named in memory of Sir Piers Bengough (1929–2005), Her Majesty's Representative at Ascot from 1984 to 1997.
