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.
Early history:- The inaugural running of the Fern Hill Stakes over the New Mile, the forerunner of the Sandringham Stakes, took place at the Ascot Heath meeting on Tuesday 10th June 1834 and was won by Lord Chesterfield's Alexis (5/1) ridden by Scott, beating Skimmer and Olympic cleverly by a length.
