Oak Tree Stakes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oak Tree Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for thoroughbred fillies and mares run over a distance of 7 furlongs (1,408 metres) at Goodwood Racecourse during the Glorious Goodwood meeting in late July / early August.
It was first run in 1980 as the New Stand Stakes, so called because it was the first race at the meeting when a new grandstand was opened at the course by Queen Elizabeth II. The following year the race was named the Royal Wedding Day Stakes, as it took place on the same day as the marriage of Prince Charles and Diana. It has been known by its present name since 1982, named after the Oak Tree Racing Association at Santa Anita Park in California, a racecourse with which Goodwood is closely associated.
The race was promoted to Group 3 status in 2004, having previously been run as a Listed race.
