Richmond Stakes

The Richmond Stakes, named after the Duke of Richmond, was first staged in 1848 for 3-year-olds over 1 mile 6 furlongs, although in its present format over 6 furlongs it was first contested in 1877 when it was open to both genders, with 6 of those first 8 races being partnered by the great Fred Archer. Today it is for colts and geldings, being restricted to male horses since 1989, and is currently one of the feature races on the 3rd day of the glorious Goodwood Festival.
Early history:-The inaugural running of the Richmond Stakes was on Friday 28th July 1848 when the Duke of Richmond’s Hornpipe beat sole rival Archery.
