History
The event is named after Horris Hill, an area located to the south of the racecourse. It was established in 1949, and was originally open to horses of either gender. The first running was won by a filly called Lone Victress.
The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and the Horris Hill Stakes was initially given Group 2 status. It was later relegated to Group 3 level.
The race was restricted to male horses in 1987. For a period it was held on Newbury's left-handed course, with a distance of about 7 furlongs and 64 yards. It was switched to the slightly shorter straight track in 2000.
The Horris Hill Stakes is part of the venue's last flat racing fixture of the year. The meeting is currently sponsored by Worthington's and known as the Worthington's Armed Forces Day. From 2012 to 2016 the race was run under various titles incorporating Worthington's name along with a charity, and in 2017 it was sponsored by Bathwick Tyres and run as the Bathwick Tyres Stakes. Since 2018 it has been sponsored by Worthington's parent company and run as the Molson Coors Stakes.
