Vintage Stakes

The Vintage Stakes, founded as the Lanson Champagne Vintage Stakes after the sponsoring company, was first staged in 1975 as a Listed race over 7 furlongs for 2-year-olds. By 1986 the race had been elevated to Group 3 status, reaching Group 2 level in 2003. It is traditionally held on the opening day of the Festival, and has often involved horses which have gone on a year later to achieve Classic success.
Early history:- The inaugural running of the Vintage Stakes was on Thursday 31st July 1975 when Lady Beaverbrook’s Riboboy defeated Pigsticker and Pirate Dream.
