Royal Ascot: Buckingham Palace Stakes

The Buckingham Palace Stakes, a flat handicap over 7 furlongs open to horses aged three and over, was established in 2002, when the Royal Ascot meeting was extended to a fifth day to mark the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II and was named after the London residence of the British monarch. It was last run in 2014 and replaced from the 2015 Royal Ascot meeting by a new Group One sprint race, the Commonwealth Cup. In 2020, the race made a one-off return as part of an expanded Royal Ascot programme, following the 10-week suspension of horse racing in the United Kingdom due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Early history:- The inaugural running of the Buckingham Palace Stakes Handicap was on Friday 21st June 2002 when won by the Khalid Abdullah owned Demonstrate, beating Lunar Leo and Kareeb by a length and half a length, with 24 others further adrift.
