Lockinge Stakes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lockinge Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for four-year-old and above thoroughbreds run over a distance of 1 mile at Newbury Racecourse in May.
First run in 1958, it was given Group 2 status when the Pattern system was introduced in 1971. Three-year-olds were eligible to run until 1995, when the race was upgraded to a Group 1 for older horses only. Horses which do well here are often targeted at the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot. The race is currently sponsored by Juddmonte Farms.
