Famous Cardinal Stakes Winners

The inaugural running was won by Minister in 2019, trained by Andrew Balding and ridden by Silvestre de Sousa.

Aidan O’Brien sent two horses over for the race with U S S Michigan finishing fourth as the 15-8 favourite and Antilles (33-1) finished second. Minster won the Royal Windsor Stakes next time and was later gelded and sold to race in Australia.

U S S Michigan did manage to finish third in the Group 3 Gallinule Stakes at the Curragh while Antilles career-best came with a third in the Group 3 Diamond Stakes at Dundalk. The 2020 renewal was lost to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The 2021 race was won by John and Thady Gosden’s Fundamental. He finished runner-up in the listed King Charles II Stakes at Newmarket and also finished second in a valuable handicap at the same track.

The 2022 race was won by Dark Moon Rising who finished fourth in a similar event at Newcastle but lost his way after that.
