Richmond Stakes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Richmond Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for two-year-old thoroughbred colts and geldings run over a distance of 6 furlongs (1,207 metres) at Goodwood Racecourse during the Glorious Goodwood meeting in late July / early August.
It was first run in 1877 and was named by 6th Duke of Richmond, whose family introduced racing to Goodwood. Although recent winners of the race have mostly been future sprinters or milers, in earlier years the Richmond Stakes was sometimes won by subsequent Derby winners. These include Pommern (1914) and Mahmoud (1935).
