Royal Ascot: Wokingham Stakes

The Wokingham Stakes, contested on the final day of the Royal meeting, is a flat handicap over 6 furlongs open to horses aged three years or older. The race is named after Wokingham, a market town 7.7 miles to the west of Ascot, and was established in 1813, the inaugural running being won by Pointers, owned by the Duke of York. For a number of years the Wokingham Stakes was divided into two or three separate classes, but it became a single race in 1874.
Early history:- The inaugural running of the Wokingham Stakes over the New Mile was on Friday 18th June 1813 when a field of 15 was headed by the Duke of York's Pointers (8/1) who defeated Lodona, Sorcery and the well-backed 6/4 favourite Offas Dyke.
