Royal Lodge Stakes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Royal Lodge Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for two-year-old thoroughbred colts and geldings. It is run over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres) at Ascot Racecourse in late September.

It was first run in 1946 and is named after Royal Lodge, a royal residence in Windsor Great Park. The first two runnings of the race were run over a distance of 5 furlongs (1,006 metres). It was run at Newbury Racecourse in 1960 and 1963, and was open to all two-year-olds before 1987. Past winners include St. Paddy in 1959 who went on the next year to win two Classics, the Epsom Derby and St. Leger Stakes.
