The Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes was first run in 1971 when a horse named Gossiper claimed victory. The race was initially known as the Bloodhorse Breeders Plate until 1991 when it was renamed the Bloodhorse Breeders Stakes. The race became known as today’s Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes in 2001.

The Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes was originally run over a distance of seven furlongs before being changed to 1,400 metres in 1973 to mark the introduction of the metric system. The race was first run over 1,200 metres in 1996 and has remained the same ever since. While the Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes was a Principal Race at first, the race was given Group 2 status from 1980-1998. The race was downgraded to a Group 3 in 1999.
