Sandown Classic Trial

Sandown Classic Trial

The Sandown Classic Trial is a Group 3 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for three-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 1 mile 2 furlongs and 7 yards (2,018 m) at Sandown Park Racecourse in late April.

First run in 1953 and originally known as the Royal Stakes, it is an early-season trial race for the Epsom Derby, and successful horses here are often aimed at another trial before the big race. The most recent Derby winners to have run in the Sandown Classic Trial are Shahrastani (won trial in 1986) and Benny the Dip (runner-up in 1997), who both went on to win the Dante Stakes before victory at Epsom.

The race is currently sponsored by Bet365 under the title of the Casino at Bet365.com Classic Trial and takes place at a meeting which combines both flat and National Hunt racing. Other races at the meeting include the Bet365 Gold Cup and the Bet365 Mile.

Winners since 1986
