2021 was the first time this race was run as the Clare Lindop Stakes as it was previously called the Laelia Stakes and before that it was the Crystal Stakes. In 1988 it was first held over 2000m at Victoria Park and was won by Thelma Josephine. In 2001 the distance was reduced to 1600m at Morphettville and Sylvaner won by 4.5 lengths that year which is the biggest winning margin. In 2008 it was held over 1450m at Cheltenham Park in the only year it has not been at Morphettville. It has been a Listed race for over twenty years.

In July 2020, Thoroughbred Racing South Australia (TRSA) and the South Australian Jockey Club (SAJC) unveiled the new race names of six black-type South Australian races following a joint decision to honour some of South Australian racings greatest icons. The change of race name requests were voted on by the pattern committee and presented to Racing Australia for approval. Former jockeys Clara Lindop and John Letts, trainer Leon Macdonald, industry figure the late David Coles, galloper Tobin Bronze and stallion Without Fear now all have races named in their honour.
