What is the Dante Stakes?
The Dante Stakes is a Group 2 contest for three-year-old colts over a distance of a mile and two furlongs. It is traditionally held at York in May, and is one of the most prestigious trials for the Epsom Derby in the racing calendar. Since its inception in 1958, ten Dante winners have gone on to win the Derby, with the most recent being Golden Horn in 2015. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the race was run as a standalone Group 2 contest after the Derby in July, and was won by the Mark Johnston-trained Thunderous.
