Sun Chariot Stakes

Sun Chariot Stakes

The Sun Chariot 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 Rowley Mile at Newmarket Racecourse, and it takes place annually in late September or early October.

The race was first run in 1964, and it is named after the racehorse Sun Chariot, the winner of the Fillies' Triple Crown in 1942. Before 1974 the event was restricted to three-year-old fillies only, and prior to 2000 the distance was 1 mile and 2 furlongs. It was promoted to Group 1 status in 2004, having been previously contested at Group 2 level.

Winners since 1987
