Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Overview
Originally established in 1868, the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes is a race that is decorated with a lot of history and plenty of name changes. The initial name of the race was the All-Aged Stakes but this changed to the Cork and Orrery Stakes in 1926 as a tribute to the 9th Earl of Cork, who was Master of the Buckhounds in the 19th century.
The race was classed as a Group 3 contest when the current race classification system was introduced in 1971. However, it was upgraded to Group 2 in 1998. The race then underwent several name changes over the ensuing years to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee (2002), Diamond Jubilee (2012), and then the Platinum Jubilee (2022).
In 2023, the race was given its current name the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes to honour the late Queen and her Jubilee celebrations down the years. It has held Group 1 status since 2002 and is considered one of the highlights of Royal Ascot.
