History
The event was established in 1981, and it was originally restricted to three-year-old fillies. The first running was won by Pipina.
The present version for older fillies was introduced in 1997. It initially held Listed status. It was promoted to Group 3 level in 2004, and to Group 2 in 2010.
The Middleton Stakes is currently staged on the second day of York's three-day Dante Festival meeting. It is run on the same day as the Dante Stakes.
