Royal Ascot: Triennial Stakes Third Leg
The Triennial Stakes, a three-year cycle of races, comprised a race for two-year-olds over 5 furlongs which was first contested in 1848 and which later evolved into the Chesham Stakes; a race for three-year-olds over 7 furlongs which was first run in 1849 and which later evolved into the Jersey Stakes, and the third leg, a race for four-year-olds over 2 miles. Horses would return each year to compete over the increasing distances, although the event was discontinued after the First World War. |
