History
The event was established in 1998 at Lingfield Park, and the inaugural edition was won by Running Stag. It was given Listed status in 1999, and promoted to Group 3 level in 2006. The original race distance was 1 mile 2 furlongs.
The Winter Derby is run on a Tapeta surface. It is one of four non-turf Group races in Britain, along with the Chipchase Stakes, September Stakes and the Sirenia Stakes. It is currently the country's first Group race of the year.
Since 2024 the race has been run at Southwell Racecourse over 1 mile 3 furlongs and 23 yards as part of changes to the British horse racing fixture list.
