Heron Stakes

Heron Stakes

The Heron Stakes is a Listed flat horse race in the United Kingdom open to three-year-old thoroughbreds. It is presently run over a distance of 1 mile 14 yards (1,622 m) at Sandown Park Racecourse but prior to 2005 it was run at Kempton Park over an exact distance of 1 mile (1,609 m). The race takes place annually in late May.

It is sometimes won by subsequent Group 1 winners, such as Among Men, Kalanisi and Proclamation. Other notable horses to have run in the race include Pursuit of Love, who was second in 1992, and Al Moughazel, later re-named Bullish Luck, fourth in 2002.

Winners since 1987

* The 2003 winner "Kalaman" was later exported to Hong Kong and re-named "Oriental Magic".
* The 2005 and 2006 races took place at Goodwood Racecourse.
