The Windsor Castle Stakes

The Windsor Castle Stakes is a listed race run over a distance of 5 furlongs. The race is run annually at the Royal Ascot meeting in June, with entry restricted to 2 year old thoroughbred racehorses. The Windsor Castle Stakes is known to attract smaller fields than other sprint events at the Royal Ascot meeting.

Windsor Castle Stakes Betting Tips

  • With the exception of Flashmans Paper’s exceptional remarkable 100/1 win in the 2008 Windsor Castle Stakes, long odds runners tend to perform poorly in the race.
  • Short odds runners consistently show or place in the Windsor Castle Stakes, making place betting a good betting option for the race.

Windsor Castle Stakes History and Winners

The Windsor Castle Stakes was first run at the Royal Ascot meeting in 1879, and has since developed a reputation as a classic cavalry charge.

The nature of the race makes it difficult for both trainers and jockeys to sustain winning streaks in the Windsor Castle Stakes.

Trainer JR Best has achieved relatively impressive results in the Windsor Castle Stakes during the past two years, with a placed finish in the 2007 race, and a win and a show in the 2008 Windsor Castle Stakes.
