Royal Ascot: Ribblesdale Stakes

The Ribblesdale Stakes, a Group 2 race over 1 mile 4 furlongs is traditionally held on the third day of the Royal meeting, and is named in honour of the 4th Baron Ribblesdale, who served as the Master of the Buckhounds from 1892 to 1895. It was established in 1919, and was originally a 1-mile race open to three and four-year-olds of either gender. The race was abandoned throughout World War II, and after it returned its distance was extended to 1 1/2 miles, but was restricted to three-year-old fillies in 1950.
Early history:- The inaugural running of the Ribblesdale Stakes was on day 3 of the Royal meeting on Thursday 19th June 1919 over a mile. It was won by Milton, a brown colt by Marcovil out of Misfit, who defeated his two rivals, Santa Cruz and Monaghan, by 2 lengths and 4 lengths.
