Somerville Tattersall Stakes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Somerville Tattersall Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for two-year-old thoroughbred colts and geldings run over a distance of 7 furlongs (1,408 metres) at Newmarket's Rowley Mile course in late September / early October.
The race is named after Edmund Somerville Tattersall (1863-1942), senior partner of Tattersalls bloodstock auctioneers.
It was upgraded to Group 3 status in 2000 having previously been a Listed race.
The 1990s winners Grand Lodge, Even Top and Enrique all went on to be narrowly beaten in the following season's 2,000 Guineas, while Aussie Rules, the 2005 winner, subsequently won the Poule d'Essai des Poulains.
