Royal Ascot Complete race history |
It was Queen Anne who first saw the potential for racing at Ascot, which in those days was known as East Cote, while she was out riding from Windsor Castle. The inaugural race meeting took place on Saturday 11th August 1711, opening with Her Majesty’s 100 Guineas Plate. As a mark of respect, when Queen Anne died on Sunday 1st August 1714 the meeting was postponed and racing abandoned for the year. It was to be a further 76 years before a ‘Royal Enclosure’ was established in 1790, albeit a temporary stand which was erected during the Royal Meeting, with entrance to the exclusive stand restricted to those invited by King George III. The next year a royal win was celebrated when the Prince of Wales won the Oatlands Stakes with Baronet. The Ascot Gold Cup (all results shown below), over 2 ½ miles, was first run in 1807 when won by Master Jackey, and the first Royal procession, starting from Windsor Castle, was in 1825. On the 16th January 1839 the foundation stone of the new Grand Stand at Ascot was laid, this being between the Royal Stand and the Betting Stand. The new Grandstand would have the capacity to hold some 3,000 spectators and would cost almost £10,000 to build. To raise such funds shares were offered and those subscribing £100 were given a silver pass, this would enable the subscriber to enjoy free entry to the stand for 61 years. However, this privilege was revoked in 1870. Although the first official Royal Ascot summer meeting was held in 1911, the statistics in this section reflect the results from all of the current historical races held at Ascot since 1807, including those which are now held at Royal Ascot but were originally held without a Royal presence at the so called Ascot Heath meetings on the Staurday of the Royal meeting. Therefore there could be small differences between statistics quoted by Royal Ascot purists and those recorded on this site which include all Ascot summer meetings since 1807. |
Listed below is each race contested at the Royal meeting, together with a link to each year the race has been run. Note however, that prior to 1987 newspapers usually reported only the first 4, or 6, places, so any place below that is merely an indication that the horse took part. |

Albany Stakes | Group 3 | 6 furlongs | 2002 (1813) | ||||||
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. |

The Buckingham Palace Stakes, a flat handicap over 7 furlongs open to horses aged three and over, was established in 2002, when the Royal Ascot meeting was extended to a fifth day to mark the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II and was named after the London residence of the British monarch. It was last run in 2014 and replaced from the 2015 Royal Ascot meeting by a new Group One sprint race, the Commonwealth Cup. In 2020, the race made a one-off return as part of an expanded Royal Ascot programme, following the 10-week suspension of horse racing in the United Kingdom due to the COVID-19 pandemic. |

Commonwealth Cup | Group 1 | 6 furlongs | 2015 | ||||||
The Commonwealth Cup is a Group 1 flat race, over 6 furlongs, open to colts and fillies aged three, and was introduced in 2015 as part of a set of changes to the programme of sprint horse races in Europe. The Diamond Jubilee Stakes, run over the same course and distance at the same meeting, was closed to three-year-olds at the same time. The new race was subsequently named the Commonwealth Cup, and the Buckingham Palace Stakes was removed from the Royal Ascot meeting to make room for the new race. The race was initially open to all three year-old-horses, including geldings, to help the race become established. It was the only Group 1 flat race in Great Britain exclusively for three-year-olds that allowed geldings to compete and the first age-restricted Group 1 race which was open to geldings in Europe. Geldings were excluded from the 2020 running. |

Diamond Jubilee Stakes | Group 1 | 6 furlongs | 1868 | ||||||
The Diamond Jubilee Stakes, contested on the final day of the Royal meeting, is a Group 1 race over 6 furlongs open to horses aged four years or older.

Duke of Edinburgh Stakes | Handicap | 1 mile 4 furlongs | 1914 | ||||||
The Duke of Edinburgh Stakes is a flat handicap over 1 mile 3 furlongs and 211 yards open to horses of three-year-old and up. The race was previously known as the Bessborough Stakes and was named after John George Brabazon Ponsonby, 5th Earl of Bessborough, who was Master of the Buckhounds on three occasions between 1848 and 1858 under Lord John Russell, Lord Aberdeen and Lord Palmerston. The first race under the original name of the Bessborough Stakes, was a five-furlong race for two-year-olds run on Tuesday 16th June 1914. The title was later bestowed on a mile and a half handicap race at the same meeting. In 1999 the race was renamed in honour of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, although the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes had previously been used for a two-year-old race at Ascot, with Sea Pigeon a former winner who later landed the Champion Hurdle. |

Hampton Court Stakes | Group 3 | 1 mile 2 furlongs | 2002 (1922) | ||||||
The Hampton Court Stakes, a Group 3 race over 1 mile 2 furlongs, has been run under different titles for some considerable time, starting out as the ungraded Churchill Stakes, over 1 mile 4 furlongs, on the Saturday of the Ascot Heath fixture. Historically, the Churchill Stakes began as a 2 mile race in 1922 before being reduced to a mile and a half in 1950. The race was given Listed status in 1999 when it had a name change to the New Stakes, confusingly a former name of the Norfolk Stakes, and the distance was reduced to 1 mile 2 furlongs a year later in 2000. The race was then switched to the third day of the Royal meeting in 2002, when the meeting was extended to five days to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II, that year running as the New Stakes, but for the Royal meeting it was renamed the Hampton Court Stakes. The extension of Royal Ascot was initially intended to be for one year only, but the extra day was such a success that it was retained thereafter. The race is now regularly titled the Hampton Court Stakes, named after the Tudor Royal residence of Hampton Court, although the race was promoted to Group 3 level and renamed the Tercentenary Stakes in 2011. Its new title was introduced to mark the 300th anniversary of Ascot Racecourse, which staged its first race meeting in 1711, but in 2017 the race reverted to its previous name, the Hampton Court Stakes. |

The Hardwicke Stakes, held on the final day of the Royal meeting, is a Group 2 race over 1 mile 3 furlongs and 211 yards and is open to horses aged four years or older. The race is named in honour of the 5th Earl of Hardwicke, the Master of the Buckhounds in Benjamin Disraeli’s government from 1874 to 1880. The race was named in his honour in 1879, but he was an inveterate gambler who had huge debts with Agar-Robartes Bank and had to try to sell his Wimpole Hall Estate in Cambridgeshire in 1891. However, it failed to sell at auction and Lord Robartes, chairman of the Bank, had to accept the Estate in settlement of the debt. |

Jersey Stakes | Group 3 | 7 furlongs | 1919 (1849) | ||||||
The Jersey Stakes, a Group 3 flat race over 7 furlongs for three-year-old horses, was established when a three-year cycle of races called the Triennial Stakes was discontinued after World War I. The Triennial Stakes had comprised a race for two-year-olds over 5 furlongs, a race for three-year-olds over 7 furlongs which was first run in 1849, and a race for four-year-olds over 2 miles. Horses would return each year to compete over the increasing distances. The Jersey Stakes replaced the second leg of the Triennial Stakes in 1919. It was named after the 4th Earl of Jersey, George Bussy Villiers, who served as MP for Tamworth, Aldborough (West Yorkshire) and Dover, and also served as the Master of the Buckhounds between 1782 and 1783. The race is now run on the second day of the five-day Royal Ascot meeting. |

King's Stand Stakes | Group 1 | 5 furlongs | 1860 | ||||||
The King's Stand Stakes was created as a result of bad weather at Royal Ascot in 1860. Heavy rain made it impossible to run the Royal Stand Plate over its usual distance of 2 miles, so it was shortened to 5 furlongs on the only raceable part of the course. The amended version was called the Queen's Stand Plate, and it subsequently became the most important sprint at the Royal meeting. For a time it was open to horses aged two or older. It was renamed the King's Stand Stakes following the death of Queen Victoria and the accession of King Edward VII in 1901. The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and the King's Stand Stakes was given Group 1 status in 1973, although it was downgraded to Group 2 level in 1988, but regained its Group 1 status in 2008 and is contested on the opening day of the Royal meeting.

Prince of Wales's Stakes | Group 1 | 1 mile 2 furlongs | 1862 | ||||||
The Prince of Wales's Stakes, currently staged on the second day of the Royal meeting, was established in 1862, and named after the Prince of Wales at that time, the future King Edward VII. The original version was restricted to three-year-olds, and it was contested over 1 mile and 5 furlongs. The race was discontinued after World War II, when there was no Prince of Wales. It returned in 1968, a year before the investiture of Prince Charles. The distance of the new version was 1 mile and 2 furlongs, and it was now open to horses aged three or older. The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and for a period the Prince of Wales's Stakes was classed at Group 2 level. It was promoted to Group 1 status in 2000, and at this point the minimum age of participating horses was raised to four. |

Queen Alexandra Stakes | Conditions race | 2 miles 5 furlongs 159 yards | 1864 | ||||||
The Queen Alexandra Stakes, named after the consort of King Edward VII, is a flat race over 2 miles 5 furlongs and 159 yards open to horses aged four years or older. It was established in 1864, and it was originally called the Alexandra Plate. It later became known as the Alexandra Stakes, and it was given its current title in 1931. It was formerly contested over 2 miles, 6 furlongs and 34 yards, but it was shortened as a result of the realignment of Ascot's track in 2005. The Queen Alexandra Stakes, the longest flat race in Britain, is traditionally the last race on the final day of the five-day Royal Ascot meeting. It sometimes features horses which ran on the opening day in the Ascot Stakes, and the most recent to win both in the same year was Simenon in 2012. |

Queen's Vase | Group 2 | 1 mile 6 furlongs | 1838 | ||||||
The Queen's Vase was established over a distance of 2 miles for 3-year-olds in 1838, and its original trophy was a gold vase donated by Queen Victoria valued at 200 sovereigns. The race was opened to older horses in 1840, and after the death of Queen Victoria its title was changed to the King's Vase in 1903, but it was renamed the Queen's Vase in 1960 in honour of Queen Elizabeth II. The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and for a period the Queen's Vase held Group 3 status. It was relegated to Listed class in 1986, and it was restricted to three-year-olds in 1987. It returned to Group 3 level in 1991 and was downgraded to Listed status again in 2014. However, in a move to recognise the importance of staying Flat races in the calendar the European Pattern Committee decided to upgrade the race to Group 2 status in 2017 while reducing its distance to 1 mile and 6 furlongs. The Queen's Vase is now contested on the second day of the five-day Royal Ascot meeting, and is one of three perpetual trophies at the meeting, along with the Gold Cup and Royal Hunt Cup, which can be kept permanently by the winning owners. The 2013 running was renamed the 'Queen's Vase in Memory of Sir Henry Cecil' in memory of Sir Henry Cecil who died on 11 June 2013. Sir Henry had, at that point, trained the winners of more races than anyone at the Royal meeting (75), including eight winners of the Queen's Vase. |

Wokingham Stakes | Handicap | 6 furlongs | 1813 | ||||||
The Wokingham Stakes, contested on the final day of the Royal meeting, is a flat handicap over 6 furlongs open to horses aged three years or older. The race is named after Wokingham, a market town 7.7 miles to the west of Ascot, and was established in 1813, the inaugural running being won by Pointers, owned by the Duke of York. For a number of years the Wokingham Stakes was divided into two or three separate classes, but it became a single race in 1874. |

Wolferton Stakes | Listed race | 1 mile 2 furlongs | 2002 | ||||||
The Wolferton Stakes, a Listed race open to horses of four-year-old and upwards, is run over 1 mile 1 furlong and 212 yards (2,004 metres), and was first run in 2002 when Royal Ascot was extended to five days to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II. It was named after the village of Wolferton, near Sandringham House and initially called the Wolferton Rated Stakes. The village contained a famous railway station which was opened in 1862 after Queen Victoria had purchased the site of Sandringham House as a Norfolk retreat. The station contained a set of elegant reception rooms used by successive generations of the Royal family. In 2018 the race was moved to the opening Tuesday of Royal Ascot and the handicap element was removed to comply with a recommendation that no handicap should carry Listed status, meaning it became a conventional Listed Race. |
