King George Stakes

The King George Stakes, founded to celebrate the coronation of King George V, was first staged in 1911 over 6 furlongs for 3-year-olds and above. Initially it was classed as a Group 3, but it is now firmly established as a Group 2 over 5 furlongs, having been promoted in 2010, and is traditionally held on the fourth day of the Glorious Goodwood Festival.
Early history:- The inaugural running of the King George Stakes was on Wednesday 26th July 1911 when Mr J Joel’s Spanish Prince defeated Sunder and Mushroom.
