Prince of Wales's Stakes

Prince of Wales's Stakes

The Prince of Wales's Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race in the United Kingdom open to thoroughbreds which are four-years-old or above. It is run over a distance of 1 mile and 2 furlongs (2,012 metres) at Ascot Racecourse, and it takes place annually during the Royal Ascot meeting in June.

It was first run in 1862 and named in honour of the Prince of Wales, Prince Albert Edward (later King Edward VII). The original distance was 1 mile and 5 furlongs (2,615 metres) and the race was open to three-year-olds and above. Early winners included Iroquois, Ard Patrick and Bayardo.

The race was absent from Royal Ascot in the period following World War II (when there was no Prince of Wales) and re-emerged with its present shortened distance in 1968, a year before Prince Charles' investiture in 1969. It attained Group 1 status in 2000, at which point three-year-olds were excluded from the race.
