Joel Stakes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Joel Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for three-year-old and above thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres) on the Rowley Mile course at Newmarket Racecourse in late September or early October.
Formerly known as the Main Reef Stakes, it was given its present title in 1994 to honour the Joel family, prominent racehorse owners and breeders. The race was promoted to Group 3 status in 2003 having been previously run at Listed level. Before 1989 the distance was 1 mile and 2 furlongs (2,012 metres).
