Juddmonte International Stakes
United Kingdom | FEATURE RACE GUIDE
History
The Juddmonte International Stakes is a Group 1 race run under Weight For Age conditions for the open class horses at York conducted by the York Racecourse.
The Juddmonte International Stakes is run over the mile and a quarter. It was first run in 1972 and was won by Roberto.
The race was conceived by the Clerk of the Course and the first running saw the only defeat of the champion Brigadier Gerard.
It is for three year olds and up and since inception 18 have won it.
The Juddmonte International Stakes is run on the opening day of the Ebor Festival at York. The 2008 edition was run at Newmarket.
Three horses have multiple wins – Dahlia, Ezzoud and Halling.
In his second last appearance and his first attempt beyond a mile, Frankel produced one of his best ever efforts in thrashing some hardened warriors by seven lengths in 2012.
Arabian Queen caused a huge boilover at 50-1 in the first defeat of the Derby winner Golden Horn in 2015.
Frankie Dettori broke the record for most wins in his farewell ride with his sixth victory. Aidan O'Brien now holds the training record winning the race seven times.
Baaeed produced one of the biggest Timeform ratings in history in bolting away with the 2022 edition at his first start beyond a mile.
City Of Troy reconfirmed his Derby and Eclipse wins with a top effort from the front in 2024. In doing so, he did what only Sea The Stars had done winning those three races and also broke Sea The Stars course record.
The Juddmonte International Stakes was worth £1,250,000 in 2025.
