Windsor Forest Stakes (2004-2012)
The Windsor Forest Stakes were started in 2004. The race is one of several created in Europe for older fillies (female horses). This was part of an industry-wide initiative to prevent more of their gender from being exported or prematurely retired to stud.
The name is a nod to the forest close to the Royal Family's Windsor Castle property.
