Nunthorpe Stakes Race History
The Nunthorpe Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race run each year at York Racecourse in York, England. Inaugurated in 1849, the race is contested at 1,006 metres and takes place in late August.
The race, named for the Nunthorpe area of York, technically first ran in 1903 but was renewed and updated in 1922 to its present version. The race is unique in that it is one few that allow two year old horses to compete against their elder peers.
In its history, only two horses have won the race three times, both being part of three-peats: Tag End (1928, 1929, 1930) and Sharpo (1980, 1981, 1982).
As part of the Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge Series since 2011, the winner automatically qualifies for the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint.
