History

The event was sponsored by Panasonic in the mid-1980s, and during this time it held Group 2 status. Juddmonte Farms took over the sponsorship in 1988. Its most illustrious winner was Nijinsky in 1969.[ citation needed ]

The race was relegated to Group 3 level in 1992. It regained Group 2 status in 2003.[ citation needed ]

The Beresford Stakes was added to the Breeders' Cup Challenge series in 2012. The winner earned an invitation to compete in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf. [1] It was dropped from the series in 2013. Since 2017 the Beresford Stakes has been part of the Road to the Kentucky Derby. [2]
