Royal Ascot: Windsor Castle Stakes

The Windsor Castle Stakes, a Listed race over 5 furlongs, is staged on the final day of the Royal meeting. It was first run at the Royal meeting in 1880, although prior to that a similarly named race was contested at Egham, and during the Second World War Windsor hosted a race called the 'Windsor Castle Stakes'. Furthermore, The Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot over the New Mile was first run in 1839 and is included in this section.
Early history:- The inaugural running of the Windsor Castle Stakes over 5 furlongs and 136 yards was on Friday 11th June 1880 when Mr W G Craven's Capuchin (6/4 fav) defeated Sea Foam (100/30) and Agnes Ethel (6/1) by 4 lengths and a distance.

Over the entire history of the race 31.3% of favourites have been successful. (23rd out of 32 Royal Ascot races)

Over the entire history of the race a level stakes bet on every favourite would have resulted in a 10.3% loss. (18th out of 32 races)
