History

The event was formerly contested at York over 1 mile, 2 furlongs and 88 yards. It used to be held in May, and it sometimes served as a trial for the Epsom Derby. Both races were won by Commander in Chief in 1993.

The Glasgow Stakes was given Listed status in 1999. For a period it was restricted to colts and geldings. It was last run at York in 2004.

The race was transferred to Hamilton Park, several miles to the south-east of Glasgow, in 2006. It was reopened to fillies and switched to mid-July in 2011.
