Park Hill Stakes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Park Hill Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for three-year-old and above thoroughbred fillies and mares. It is run over a distance of 1 mile 6 furlongs and 132 yards (2,937 m) at Doncaster Racecourse during the St. Leger meeting in September.
It was first run in 1839 and is named after Park Hill, the estate of Anthony St. Leger, founder of the St. Leger Stakes. The race was originally restricted to three-year-old fillies only, opening to older fillies and mares in 1991. At this point the race was downgraded to Group 3 status, and it continued at this level until returning to Group 2 in 2004.
