About the Commonwealth Cup
The Commonwealth Cup is a Group One race for three-year-olds run over six furlongs and is the showpiece race on day four of Royal Ascot.
First run in 2015, the Commonwealth Cup is the newest race on the Royal Ascot schedule and replaced the Buckingham Palace Stakes. Run over six furlongs, it takes place over the same distance as the Diamond Jubilee Stakes, but this contest is only open to three-year-old horses. So, it can sometimes see those horses that have failed to see out the one mile distance of the Guineas races earlier in the season dropping back to six furlongs and looking for Group One success.
