From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bentinck Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for three-year-old and above thoroughbreds run over a distance of 6 furlongs (1,207 metres) at Newmarket's Rowley Mile course in October.
It is named in honour of Lord George Bentinck, a successful racehorse owner in the 19th century.
