Golden Jubilee Stakes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Golden Jubilee Stakes is a Group 1 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 during the Royal Ascot meeting in June.
It was first run in 1868 as the Cork and Orrery Stakes, named after the 9th Earl of Cork & 9th Earl of Orrery who had been Master of the Buckhounds in 1866. The race kept this name until 2002, when it became a Group 1 and was re-named to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. It is now the fourth leg of the seven race Global Sprint Challenge series, preceded by the King's Stand Stakes and followed by the Centaur Stakes.
