History

The event is named after St James's Palace, a royal residence during the Tudor period. It was established in 1834, and the inaugural race was a walkover. [1]

The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and for a period, the St James's Palace Stakes was classed at Group 2 level. It was promoted to Group 1 status in 1988.

The St James's Palace Stakes usually features horses which ran previously in the 2,000 Guineas, the Poule d'Essai des Poulains or the Irish 2,000 Guineas. It is contested on the opening day of the Royal Ascot meeting.
