Acting as the feature event on the last of Windsor’s popular evening meetings and supported by the August Stakes, the Winter Hill is run towards the end of August every year and has the distinction of being the track’s only group race.

The £60,000 Group 3 contest is run over the mile-and-a-quarter trip and has been on the calendar since back in 1986 as a Listed race, though it was upgraded to its current status in 1995.
Since the upgrade, some classy horses have taken this race including dual winner Fabricate, top-notch Group 1 scorer Al Kazeem and smart filly Chain Of Daisies.

Windsor has also proven to attract the same horses back for as well as having three multiple winners, this race was also won by Naheef and Desert Encounter who both also took the August Stakes while Matternhorn has also been runner-up, another Listed winner at Windsor in the Midsummer Stakes.
