Royal Ascot: Albany Stakes
Today the Albany Stakes is a Group 3 flat race over 6 furlongs open to two-year-old fillies on the fourth day of the Royal meeting. In its present format it was first established as a Listed race, the Henry Carnavon Stakes, in memory of Henry Herbert, 7th Earl of Carnarvon, the Queen's racing manager who died in September 2001, but was renamed the Albany Stakes in 2003 and was promoted to Group 3 status in 2005. However, historically there was a race called the Albany Stakes for 3-year-olds which was first run at the Ascot Heath meeting on Wednesday 16th June 1813 over the Old Mile course. |
