It was first run in 2007 over 2 miles as the Daniel Gath Homes Mares Only Hurdle Race and was won by Annie's Answer.[1] In 2008 the race distance was increased by half a furlong due to track reconfiguration at Wetherby Racecourse and bet365 took over the sponsorship of the race between 2008 and 2011.[2]
From 2012 to 2018 OLBG were the race sponsors.[3] It returned to the 2 miles distance from 2015. Bet365 resumed sponsorship from the 2019 running and the race is now titled the bet365 Mares' Hurdle.
