Royal Ascot: Ribblesdale Stakes
The Ribblesdale Stakes, a Group 2 race over 1 mile 4 furlongs is traditionally held on the third day of the Royal meeting, and is named in honour of the 4th Baron Ribblesdale, who served as the Master of the Buckhounds from 1892 to 1895. It was established in 1919, and was originally a 1-mile race open to three and four-year-olds of either gender. The race was abandoned throughout World War II, and after it returned its distance was extended to 1 1/2 miles, but was restricted to three-year-old fillies in 1950. |
