History

edit

The event was established at Ascot in 1946, and it was initially contested over 6 furlongs (1,207 metres). The inaugural running was won by Golden Hackle. It was extended to a mile in 1948, and cut to 5 furlongs (1,006 metres) in 1957. Until 2013 it was run in early October and in 2014 it was transferred to Newmarket to become part of the "Future Champions Day" fixture in mid-October.[1]

The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and the Cornwallis Stakes was classed at Group 3 level.
