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.
The race was relegated to Group 3 level in 1992. It regained Group 2 status in 2003.
The Beresford Stakes was added to the Breeders' Cup Challenge series in 2012. The winner now earns an invitation to compete in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.
