What is the Nunthorpe Stakes? 

The Nunthorpe Stakes is a Group 1 race run over five furlongs and takes place on day three of York's Ebor Festival in August. With many sprinters that competed at Royal Ascot earlier in the season targeting this event then it's always a hugely competitive betting heat with only the fastest speedster prevailing. First run in 1922, the Nunthorpe is a hugely valuable prize and will see the elite from the UK & Ireland and on occasions from Europe do battle in a real cavalry charge.

Some of the greatest sprinters have tasted victory in the race and Sharpo (1980, 1981 & 1982) won the event three years on the bounce, while more recently Oasis Dream (2003) and star two-year-old Kingsgate Native (2007) landed success in the race, with Battaash (2019) another blistering winner of the event.

What happened in the 2020 Nunthorpe Stakes?

Battaash was forced to work for a second Nunthorpe success, but the Charlie Hills-trained speedball was up for the task as he eventually pulled clear of the brave Que Amoro, who produced a superb performance. Quickly taking up the lead from Ornate, Battaash was on the front end with Que Amoro, and it was that pair that fought out the finish, but as Battaash moved to the stand's side to eyeball his rival, he duly found for Jim Crowley's urging to win by a length with Que Amoro finishing second and Moss Gill back in third.
