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. |
