Famous Palace House Stakes Winners

The Palace House Stakes was first run in 1961 with victory going to Galivanter. The race was awarded Group 3 status in 1971 and has held that status ever since. The Palace House Stakes is often on the agenda of the leading sprinters and the roll of honour is littered with Group 1 winning sprinters.

1994 winner Lochsong was trained by Ian Balding and ridden by Frankie Dettori. The brilliant mare won fifteen of her 27 starts. She worked her way up the handicap in 1992, taking the Stewards Cup, Portland Handicap and Ayr Gold Cup. Lochsong then established herself as the Champion Sprinter of Europe in 1993, winning the King George, Nunthorpe and Prix de l’Abbaye. She won here prior to adding the King’s Stand Stakes, a second King George and Prix de l’Abbaye in 1994.
