2025 Duchess of Cambridge Stakes Preview
Each year at the Newmarket racecourse, scheduled to take place during the July Festival, is the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes, a Group 2 race that is open to two-year-old fillies only. The race will be run over a straight six furlongs where previous G1 & G2 winners will have to carry a 3lb penalty.
Established in 1947, the race was originally called and is still referred to as the Cherry Hinton Stakes and those who perform well in the race are worth putting in the tracker in view of the following season's 1,000 Guineas, Attraction won this race in 2004 and then went on to Guineas success in 2005!
