White Rose Stakes
The White Rose Stakes was a flat horse race in Great Britain open to three-year-old horses. It was run at Ascot over a distance of 1 mile and 2 furlongs (2,012 metres), and it was scheduled to take place each year in April or May.
History
The event was originally held at Hurst Park. For a period it was open to horses aged three or older, and contested over 1 mile, 7 furlongs and 65 yards. The White Rose Stakes was restricted to three-year-olds and cut to 1 mile and 2 furlongs in the early 1950s. It was transferred to Ascot in 1963. The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and the event was classed at Group 3 level. The race continued with Group 3 status until the early 1980s. It was subsequently downgraded, and was last run in 1993. It was replaced by an open-age handicap, the White Rose Handicap, in 1994.
