From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The International 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 1 mile 2 furlongs and 88 yards (2,092 m) at York Racecourse during the Ebor Festival meeting in August.

It was first run in 1972 and was known until 1985 as the Benson & Hedges Gold Cup. Since 1989 the race has been sponsored by Juddmonte Farms, the breeding operation of Khalid Abdullah. The race is now commonly referred to as the Juddmonte International.
