History

The event is named after Ormonde, a famous racehorse foaled at Eaton Hall in Cheshire. The original version was a 5-furlong race for two-year-olds. [1]

The present Ormonde Stakes was established in 1936. [2] It was initially open to horses aged three or older, and contested over 1 mile, 5 furlongs and 75 yards. The first running was won by Quashed.

The race was confined to three-year-olds and cut to 1 mile, 2 furlongs and 10 yards in 1955. [3] Its previous distance was restored in 1958, and from this point it was restricted to older horses. [4] It was extended by several yards in 1970.

The Ormonde Stakes can serve as a trial for the Coronation Cup. The last horse to win both races in the same year was St Nicholas Abbey in 2011.
