Other Reference Races
- The Brigadier Gerard Stakes, run at Sandown over this trip of 2000m, has produced the winner of this race twice in the last 10 years. While this year’s renewal of that Sandown race didn’t look strong, winner ROYAL RHYME looks to be still progressing and is one to keep an eye on if running here.
- In the last 10 year’s other races that have produced the winner of the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes include the Coronation Stakes, Tattersall’s Gold Cup, Prix d’Ispahan, Aston Park Stakes and the Gordon Richards Stakes.
