The Solario Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to two-year-old horses. It is run at Sandown Park over a distance of 7 furlongs (1,408 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late August or early September.

History

The event is named after Solario, a successful racehorse in the 1920s and subsequently a leading sire. It was established in 1947, and the inaugural running was won by Panair.

For a period the Solario Stakes was classed at Listed level. It was promoted to Group 3 status in 1986.

The race was formerly held during Sandown Park's Variety Club Day, an annual fundraising event for the Variety Club. The 2011 running promoted the charity's Sunshine Coaches. In 2012 Variety Club day was moved to August and the race has since been sponsored by various companies and organisations.
