Royal Windsor Stakes 2023

Run right at the start of Windsor’s long and very popular season of Monday evening meetings, the Listed Royal Windsor Stakes is a high-quality event over a mile and worth £35,000 in total.

On the calendar since the year 2000 and won for the first two times in its existence by Geoff Wragg’s popular Swallow Flight, the Royal Windsor Stakes takes its name from the full title of this course and can provide a good starting point for Pattern horses looking to contest some of the major mile races later in the season, especially at nearby Ascot.

In 18 renewals (two were abandoned), a handful of trainers have dominated the contest with not just Geoff Wragg but also Richard Hannon Sr winning it twice while both Andrew Balding and Sir Michael Stoute have taken the prize three times each.
