From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Princess Royal Stakes is the former title of a flat horse race in the United Kingdom for three-year-old and above thoroughbred fillies and mares. Prior to 2008 it usually took place at Ascot Racecourse as a Group 3 race, and was run over a distance of 1 mile and 4 furlongs (2,414 metres) in October.
