The Ormonde Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged four years or older. It is run over a distance of 1 mile, 5 furlongs and 84 yards (2,692 metres) at Chester in May.
History
The event is named after Ormonde, a famous racehorse foaled at Eaton Hall in Cheshire. The original version was a 5-furlong race for two-year-olds.[1]
The present Ormonde Stakes was established in 1936.[2] It was initially open to horses aged three or older, and contested over 1 mile, 5 furlongs and 75 yards. The first running was won by Quashed.
The race was confined to three-year-olds and cut to 1 mile, 2 furlongs and 10 yards in 1955.[3] Its previous distance was restored in 1958, and from this point it was restricted to older horses.[4] It was extended by several yards in 1970.
The Ormonde Stakes can serve as a trial for the Coronation Cup. The last horse to win both races in the same year was St Nicholas Abbey in 2011.
