2022 Coventry Stakes Preview, Trends & Analysis

2022 Coventry Stakes Preview

Established in 1890 and named after the 9th Earl of Coventry, the Coventry Stakes is a Group 2 race for two-year-old runners which is run over a distance of six furlongs and takes place during the Royal Ascot meeting in June of each year. It's a race where the legendary jockey Sir Gordon Richards had a good record in having won it a total of nine times between 1932-51, trainer Aidan O'Brien has matched that number of wins as a trainer with Arizona in 2019 being his ninth win in the race.
