'' |purse = £60,000 ''(2014)'' 1st: £34,026 }} |} The St. Simon Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It is run at Newbury over a distance of 1 mile, 4 furlongs and 5 yards (2,419 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in October. ==History== The event is named after St. Simon, an undefeated racehorse in the 1880s and subsequently a successful sire. It was established in 1969, and the first running was won by Rangong. The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and the St. Simon Stakes was initially given Group 2 status. By the end of the decade it was classed at Group 3 level. It is now restricted to horses which have not won a Group 1 event since the age of two. The St. Simon Stakes is part of Newbury's last flat racing fixture of the year. The meeting is currently sponsored by Worthington's and known as the Worthington's Armed Forces Day. The race is currently billed as the Worthington's Burlison Inns Stakes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Simon Stakes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
