History
The event was established in 1971, and it was initially called the Rubbing House Stakes.[1] The first running was won by Pembroke Castle.
The race was renamed the Earl of Sefton Stakes in 1973[2] in memory of Hugh Molyneux (1898–1972), the seventh Earl of Sefton.
The Earl of Sefton Stakes is currently held on the first day of Newmarket's three-day Craven Meeting, two days before the Craven Stakes.
