The event is named after Sirenia, a successful filly foaled in 1895. Her victories included Kempton's
Duke of York Stakes and Great Jubilee Handicap, and she was subsequently a leading broodmare. Prior to 1967, the Sirenia Stakes was run as a nursery handicap. It was originally contested on turf, and for a period it was classed at Listed level. It was promoted to Group 3 status in 2003, and was switched to a newly opened
all-weather track in 2006. ==Records==
