The event is named in memory of Fred Winter (1926–2004), who was successful as both a jockey and a trainer in National Hunt racing. Winter's record at the Cheltenham Festival included seventeen victories as a jockey, and twenty-eight as a trainer.

The Fred Winter Juvenile Hurdle was one of several new races introduced at the Festival when a fourth day was added to the meeting in 2005. It was initially classed at Listed level, and it was promoted to Grade 3 status in 2009.

gollark: Just fork Spanish, yes.
gollark: Solution: competing Spanish design authority.
gollark: "the Spanish 1.2 beta" sounds much cooler than "Spanish".
gollark: They should start versioning it, too.
gollark: I suppose it's nice that you can go say something like "WHAT? I'm going to talk to the President of Spanish about this" about any issues you might have.
