Diadem Stakes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Diadem Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for three-year-old and above thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 6 furlongs (1,207 metres) at Ascot Racecourse in late September.

It was first run in 1946, prior to which all racing at Ascot had been confined to the Royal meeting in June. It is named after the filly Diadem, winner of the 1,000 Guineas in 1917, and later a top class sprinter with frequent wins at Ascot. The race was promoted to Group 2 status in 1996 having been previously contested at Group 3 level.
