Abernant Stakes
The Abernant Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged three years or older. It is run over a distance of 6 furlongs (1,207 metres) on the Rowley Mile at Newmarket in mid-April.
History
The event is named after Abernant, a successful sprinter in the late 1940s and early 1950s. It was established in 1969, and the first running was won by Song. For a period the race held Listed status. It was promoted to Group 3 level in 2013. The race is currently staged on the final day of Newmarket's three-day Craven Meeting. It is run on the same day as the Craven Stakes. The leading horses from the Abernant Stakes sometimes go on to compete in the Palace House Stakes or the Duke of York Stakes.
