2027 Rosemary Stakes Preview
Like a few other races at this meeting, the Rosemary Stakes was initially contested at Ascot until 2010. This listed race was established in 1991 and is restricted to fillies and mares who are aged three or older. It is contested over a trip of one mile and takes place at Newmarket during the Cambridgeshire Meeting in September; prior to its move to Newmarket, it was run as a Handicap.
