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 2019 Nunthorpe Stakes?

Battaash was a magnificent winner of the 2019 Nunthorpe Stakes as the Charles Hills-trained speedball scooted clear of a fine field to beat Soldier's Call by nearly four lengths. Travelling smoothly throughout the race, Jim Crowley asked Battaash to pick up at the halway stage and he duly answered his jockey's urgings and sprinted clear of Soldier's Call, while So Perfect stayed on best of the rest to finish in third place.
