The race was first run in 2017 as a conditions race and was named after the nearby village of Burradon. It was upgraded to Listed status from the 2018 running, effectively replacing the International Trial in the calendar. In 2018 it also became part of the Road to the Kentucky Derby series through which horses earn points to qualify for a place in the Kentucky Derby. The Burradon Stakes was the final race of the European leg of the series and carried the most qualifying points of any of the European races. It was replaced from the 2019 Road to the Kentucky Derby series by the Cardinal Stakes at Chelmsford City.
