Nassau Stakes Betting Tips

  • Whilst older racehorses do compete in the Nassau Stakes, youth is the way to go when making selections, as the majority of Nassau Stakes winners are 3-year old fillies and mares.
  • In recent years Aidan O’Brien and Sir Michael Stoute have achieved impressive records in the Nassau Stakes, and their entries are worthy of consideration when looking for Nassau Stakes winners.
  • Ante-post markets for the Nassau Stakes are open months in advance of the race, and provide great value to punters looking for suitable markets to use the free bets offered by UK bookmakers.

Nassau Stakes History

The Nassau Stakes was first run in 1840, 38 years after the first racing festival was organised on the Goodwood Estate of the Duke of Richmond. The Duke of Richmond named the race in recognition of his family’s friendship with the house of Orange-Nassau.

The Nassau Stakes was originally available only to 3 year old fillies, but was opened to older racehorses in 1975 after a similar change in format for the Sussex Stakes. For most of its history the race was run under Group Two status, but it was promoted to a Group One event in 1999.

Nassau Stakes Winners

A number of Oaks and Irish Oaks winners have cemented their status as top quality racehorses by also claiming the Nassau Stakes. Amongst the most highly rated recent winners of the race are Irish and Yorkshire Oaks winner Peeping Fawn (2007), and Epsom and Irish Oaks winner Ouija Board (2006). In 1991 and 1992 Ruby Tiger achieved a rare double by winning the race for two consecutive years.
