Falmouth Stakes

Falmouth Stakes

The Falmouth Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race in the United Kingdom open to thoroughbred fillies and mares which are three-years-old or above. It is run over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres) on the July Course at Newmarket Racecourse, and it takes place annually in early July.

It was first run in 1911 and named in honour of 6th Viscount Falmouth, a leading racehorse owner and breeder in the 19th century. Originally restricted to three-year-olds, the race opened to older horses in 1973. It was known as the Child Stakes from 1975 to 1991.

When the Pattern system was introduced in 1971 the race was given Group 3 status. Since then it has been upgraded twice, to Group 2 in 1987 and to Group 1 in 2004.

Winners since 1986
