History
The event was formerly called the Marlborough Stakes, and it used to be an ungraded conditions race for three-year-olds. It was renamed in memory of Tony Stratton-Smith, a racehorse-owning music entrepreneur, in 1992. The Tony Stratton-Smith Memorial Stakes was opened to older horses in 1993.
The race became known as the World Trophy when Dubai Airport started a new period of sponsorship in 1997. From this point the event held Listed status, and it was promoted to Group 3 level in 2002.
