Royal Ascot: Coronation Stakes

The Coronation Stakes, a Group 1 flat race over 7 furlongs and 213 yards, open to three-year-old fillies, is run on the fourth day of the Royal meeting. The Coronation Stakes was established in 1840, and its title commemorates the Coronation of a new British monarch, Queen Victoria, two years earlier. The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and for a period the Coronation Stakes held Group 2 status, but was promoted to Group 1 level in 1988.
Early history:- The inaugural running of the Coronation Stakes took place on Wednesday 17th June 1840 when won by Lord Albemarle's Spangle (5/2), trained by William Edwards and ridden by Cotton, who defeated Black Bess (5/2) and Emetic (2/1 fav) by a neck and half a length.
