The St. Simon Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It is run at Newbury over a distance of 1 mile and 4 furlongs (2,414 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in October.

History

The event is named after St. Simon, an undefeated racehorse in the 1880s and subsequently a successful sire. It was established in 1969, and the first running was won by Rangong.

The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and the St. Simon Stakes was initially given Group 2 status. By the end of the decade it was classed at Group 3 level. The St. Simon Stakes is part of Newbury's last flat racing fixture of the year.
