Norfolk Stakes (Great Britain)
|
The Norfolk Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in the United Kingdom open to two-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 5 furlongs (1,006 metres) at Ascot Racecourse, and it takes place annually during the Royal Ascot meeting in June.
The race was first run in 1843, and it was originally titled the New Stakes. In 1973 it was renamed in honour of the 16th Duke of Norfolk, who served as HM's Representative at Ascot from 1945 to 1972. The race was promoted to Group 2 status in 2006, having been previously classed at Group 3 level.
