History


The event was established in 1963, and it was originally called the Westbury Stakes. It was initially held in late May or early June.[1]


The Westbury Stakes continued to be staged in May or June until 1973. That year's edition took place at Kempton Park.[2] Its date was switched with that of the Brigadier Gerard Stakes in 1974, and from this point it was held in April.[3]


The race was given its present title in 1987. It was renamed in memory of Sir Gordon Richards, a famous jockey who died the previous year.[4]


The Gordon Richards Stakes is part of a two-day meeting which features both flat and jump races. Other events at the meeting include the Bet365 Gold Cup, the Celebration Chase, the Sandown Classic Trial and the Sandown Mile.
