Hardwicke Stakes Odds

What is the Hardwicke Stakes? 

The Hardwicke Stakes is a Group Two contest run on the final day of Royal Ascot and is a race that attracts a host of top notch middle distance performers.

First held in 1879, the Hardwicke Stakes may not be one of the more prestigious races across the five-day Flat extravaganza, but it's a race that can produce some sensational winners, and none more so than Harbinger, who rocketed clear in fine fashion to claim victory in the 2010 renewal. Despite only holding Group Two status it can be a race that sees Group One performers taking their chance.

Showing a sparkling turn of foot, Wonderful Tonight put the race to bed in the closing stages and eased clear of second placed Broome, while Hukum finished in third.
