History

edit

The event is named after the Duke of Gordon, one of the dukedoms held by the Duke of Richmond, the owner of Goodwood Racecourse. It was established in 1902, and it was restricted to three-year-olds in 1903.

The Gordon Stakes can serve as a trial for the St. Leger Stakes, and ten horses have won both races. The first was Prince Palatine in 1911, and the latest was Jan Brueghel in 2024.

During the 1890s there was a 1 mile 2 furlong race open to three-year-olds and older called the Gordon Stakes that was run in late July or early August.[1]

The race is currently held on the third day of the five-day Glorious Goodwood meeting.
