The event is held on the same afternoon as Sandown Park's most prestigious flat race, the Eclipse Stakes. For a period it was classed at Listed level, and it was promoted to Group 3 status in 2004.
The long-term sponsors of the Eclipse Stakes, Coral, started to sponsor the Sprint Stakes in 2009. It is now known as the Coral Charge.
