History
The event was established in 1978 and it used to be sponsored by Kiveton Park Steel. For a period the Kiveton Park Stakes was classed at Listed level and contested over 7 furlongs. It was promoted to Group 3 status in 1986, and extended to a mile in 1993. The word "Kiveton" was removed from its title in 1996. In 2012, sports betting community OLBG.com secured sponsorship and naming rights. It is now sponsored by Saint Gobain.
The race reverted to 7 furlongs in 2003, and it was upgraded to Group 2 in 2004.
The Park Stakes is held during Doncaster's four-day St. Leger Festival. It is currently run on the final day, the same day as the St. Leger Stakes.
