2024 Thoroughbred Stakes Preview

This race was given listed status in 1998 and also given the current name of the Thoroughbred Stakes at the same time, it has since been upgraded to a Group 3 (since 2012).

It is open to three-year-old runners only and is run over one mile, the race is run on day four of the Glorious Goodwood Festival which is staged in late July or early August.

Previous Group 1 winners cannot enter the race, fillies get a 3lbs allowance whilst previous Group 2 (7lb) and Group 3 (5lb) winners have to carry a penalty.

How competitive is the Thoroughbred Stakes market? When looking at the over-rounds for the last 20 renewals, the most competitive market was in 2020 when the race had an over-round of 108%. The race in 2009 was a race that was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 122%, whilst on average over the last 20 renewals of the Thoroughbred Stakes, the over-round has been 115%, which means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £115 which is bet.

Thoroughbred Stakes Trends:

Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? From the past 20 if you had followed the winner of the Thoroughbred Stakes next time out then you would have backed a total of 4 winners. Backing all 20 runners who have been out since to win at SP next time out, would have returned an LSP of -8.62. Whilst we wait for the 2024 Thoroughbred Stakes remember you can get daily racing predictions from the expert tipsters on the racing predictions page.

When looking over the past 20 renewals, a time of 1:35.70 was set by Duke Of Hazzard in 2019, which is the quickest time over that period, the runner was trained by Paul Cole and ridden by P J McDonald. The slowest winning time was set in 2009 when Zacinto won in a time of 1:41.30, booked to ride was Ryan Moore by the trainer Sir Michael Stoute.
