What is the Chesham Stakes? 

The Chesham Stakes is a Listed event held on the fifth and final day of Royal Ascot and is run over seven furlongs for horses aged two years old.

Having been extended from six furlongs to seven furlongs in 1996, the Chesham Stakes has often been a race that throws up notable Classic pointers, and while it may lack the prestige of some of the other races taking place at Royal Ascot, it can throw up some really smart winners. Churchill (2016) and Pinatubo (2019) are two of the recent winners that have excelled in better company later in their careers having won here.

What happened in the 2019 Chesham Stakes? 

Charlie Appleby's Pinatubo broke the two-year-old track record for seven furlongs en route to an emphatic win in the 2019 Chesham Stakes, as the Godolphin raider trounced second placed Lope Y Fernandez by over three lengths in a scintillating performance. The 3/1 shot produced one of the performances of the 2019 meeting as he breezed clear of his rivals with the Aidan O'Brien-trained Lope Y Fernandez bagging second spot and Highland Chief back in third.
