The event is named after Sweet Solera, the winner of the 1000 Guineas and Epsom Oaks in 1961. For a period it was classed at Listed level, and it was promoted to Group 3 status in 2004.

The leading horses from the Sweet Solera Stakes often go on to compete in the May Hill Stakes and the Fillies' Mile.
