It was run for the last time in April 2009.

History

The Easter Stakes was originally run on turf and served as a trial for various colts' Classics in Europe.

The race was transferred to Kempton's newly opened Polytrack circuit in 2006. It was demoted from Listed status after the 2009 running, when the three-year average of its winners' ratings failed to reach the required level, and the name was dropped.

The ungraded version of the Conditions race which replaced it was initially backed by 32Red. The bookmaking company Betfred became its sponsor in 2012.
