Royal Ascot: Sandringham Stakes
The Sandringham Handicap, a flat handicap over a mile, is open to three-year-old fillies and takes place on the fourth day of the Royal meeting. The race was called the Fern Hill Rated Stakes until 2001, and was part of the Ascot Heath meeting held on the Saturday after Royal Ascot. Prior to 2018 it was run as a Listed handicap but was downgraded by the BHA to comply with a new rule that no handicap race could carry Listed or Group status. |
