Rockfel Stakes Race History
The Rockfel Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race run each year on the Rowley Mile at the Newmarket Racecourse in Suffolk, England. Inaugurated in 1981, the race is contested at 1,408 metres and takes place in late September.
The race is named for famed British filly Rockfel, who won both the Epsom Oaks and 1000 Guineas Stakes (both British Classics) in 1938. Currently two jockeys are tied for most wins with 4 each: Michael Hills (1989, 1998, 2004, 2012) and Frankie Dettori (1990, 1996, 2016, 2017).
As part of the Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In" Challenge Series, the winner automatically qualifies for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf.
