Norfolk Stakes (Great Britain)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Norfolk Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for two-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 5 furlongs (1,006 metres) at Ascot Racecourse during the Royal Ascot meeting in June.

It was first run in 1843 as the New Stakes and was re-named in 1973 in honour of the 16th Duke of Norfolk, Her Majesty's Representative at Ascot from 1945 to 1972. The race was promoted to Group 2 status in 2006, having been previously run at Group 3 level.
