History

The event was established in 1978, and it was initially called the Westhampnett Stakes. It was named after Westhampnett, a village to the south of Goodwood. It became known as the Chromacopy Stakes in 1983.

The race was given Listed status and renamed the Stardom Stakes in 1987. Its original distance of 1 mile was cut to 7 furlongs in 2009. It is currently run as the Peter Willett Stakes in recognition of a long-serving director of Goodwood Racecourse. The race lost its Listed status in 2013, being replaced in the calendar by the Flying Scotsman Stakes at Doncaster.[1]
