History
editThe event was formerly ungraded, and it used to be called the Surplice Stakes. It was sponsored by Vodafone from 1993, and for several years it was known by a sponsored title. It was given Listed status and renamed the Thoroughbred Stakes in 1998.
The race was backed by Blue Square from 2007 to 2010, and by RSA in 2011 and 2012. Since 2013 it has been sponsored by Bonhams. It was promoted to Group 3 level in 2012.[1]
The Thoroughbred Stakes is currently held on the fourth day of the five-day Glorious Goodwood meeting.
