Washington Singer Stakes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Washington Singer Stakes is a Listed flat horse race in the United Kingdom for two-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 7 furlongs (1,408 metres) at Newbury Racecourse in mid August.

It is named after the racehorse owner Washington Singer (1866-1934), and has been won by several subsequent Classic winners, perhaps most notably Lammtarra, the winner of the 1995 Epsom Derby, who made his debut here. Other future stars to emerge from this race include Rodrigo de Triano and Haafhd, who both went on to win the 2,000 Guineas the following season.
