Sun Chariot Stakes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sun Chariot Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for three-year-old and above thoroughbred fillies and mares. 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.
It was first run in 1964 and is named after the racehorse Sun Chariot, winner of the Fillies' Triple Crown in 1942. Before 1974 the race was restricted to three-year-old fillies, and prior to 2000 the distance was 1 mile 2 furlongs (2,012 metres). It was promoted to Group 1 status in 2004 having been previously contested at Group 2 level.
