Race History

First run in 1840 to commemorate the coronation of Queen Victoria, the Coronation Stakes is for three-year-old fillies and regularly attracts the winners of the British, Irish and French 1,000 Guineas. It has also started to attract some of the top American fillies and so is a race that acts to crown the best of that year’s Classic generation over a mile.

The race was promoted to Group 1 level in 1988 and in recent years the likes of Sky Lantern, Winter, Alpha Centauri, and Tahiyra have won one of the 1,000 Guineas races before following up in the Coronation Stakes.
