About the Ormonde Stakes

The Ormonde Stakes is a flat race run in May of each year at Chester racecourse. The first ever run was held in 1936 and won by a horse called Quashed, who had previously won The Oaks in 1935. The race itself is named after the famous racehorse Ormonde who was foaled at Eaton hall in Chester. The very early version of the race was for two year olds only and was run over a distance of five furlongs. However in 1936 that was changed and the race subsequently allowed horses aged three years and older to contend, and the distance was upped to one mile, five furlongs and 75 yards.

Later on in the race’s history, in 1955 to be exact, the race was shortened to one mile, two furlongs and 10 yards, before being reinstated as a 13 furlong affair in 1958. It was from this year that the race was restricted to horses aged four years and older. The Ormonde is seen by many in the racing industry as a trial run for the Coronation Cup which is run a few weeks after. St Nicolas Abbey was the last horse to win both races in the same year in 2011.

The Best of the Best

This Group Three event attracts the very top performing stables from all around the world. This is easily reflected in the list of honours for the race. Lester Piggott and Pat Eddery have both achieved first place a record five times spanning a period of five decades, Piggott having his first in 1959 on Primera, and Eddery having his last in 1999 with Sadian.

In today’s modern racing era there appears to be only one jockey who has a chance of catching that record. That jockey is Ryan Moore who has gained success in the race four times so far. He even went as close in second place when riding Kew gardens, a beaten 4/5 favourite in 2019.

From the training side of the prestigious race it is Sir Michael Stoute who holds the current record on six wins in a period spanning three decades from 1992, when he won with Saddlers’ Hall, to 2016 when he was a winner with Dartmouth. The only trainer still plying his trade today who comes close to Stout is Aidan O’Brien with four wins, who was coincidentally the trainer for the previously mentioned beaten favourite Kew Gardens in 2019.

Finding Success

During the entire history of the event there have been three horses who have tasted victory on two occasions, Sovrango in 1962 and 1963, Shambo in 1993 and 1994, and finally St Expedit in 2001 and 2002. When you are searching for your selection in the race it is best to take into consideration what distance the horses have run when they’ve achieved some success. This is due to the fact that a mile and five furlongs is edging towards the longer end of the flat race spectrum, and it is important to be sure that any selection you make can stay the distance.

Coupled with this selection criteria you also would want to look at the most in-form jockeys and trainers leading up to the race, especially for the 13 furlong distance, as well as in the previous years of this race. The previous mentions of Stoute, O’Brien and, on the jockey side, Moore, are all still entering the competition so be sure to keep an eye on their prospects.
