The Middleton Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in Great Britain open to fillies and mares aged four years or older. It is run over a distance of 1 mile, 2 furlongs and 88 yards (2,092 metres) at York in May.
History
The event was established in 1981, and it was originally restricted to three-year-old fillies.[1] 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.[2]
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.
