History

The event was established in 1972, and it was originally called the Lupe Stakes. It was named after Lupe, the winner of The Oaks in 1970.

The race was renamed the Height of Fashion Stakes in 2007. It now pays tribute to Height of Fashion, a filly whose victories included the Lupe Stakes in 1982. She became a successful broodmare, and was the dam of Unfuwain, Nashwan and Nayef.

The Height of Fashion Stakes sometimes serves as a trial for the Epsom Oaks. The last horse to win both races was Snow Fairy in 2010.

Height of Fashion was French-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. Owned and bred by Queen Elizabeth II, she was undefeated in her three races as a two-year-old in 1981, winning the Acomb Stakes, May Hill Stakes and Fillies' Mile. The following year she added a win in the Lupe Stakes before a record-breaking victory in the Princess of Wales's Stakes. She ran poorly in her two remaining races and was retired to stud at the end of the season. Height of Fashion proved to be an exceptional broodmare, producing the major stakes winners Unfuwain, Nashwan and Nayef. She died in Kentucky in 2000.

Circus Ring was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. Despite never contesting a Group One race she was the leading two-year-old filly in the United Kingdom in 1981 when she was unbeaten in three races including the Princess Margaret Stakes and the Lowther Stakes. She then developed injury problems and finished unplaced in her only appearance in 1982. Circus Ring later became a successful broodmare and was the direct female-line ancestor of the Hong Kong Horse of the Year Viva Pataca. She died in 2009 at the age of 30.
