Falmouth Stakes

The Falmouth Stakes is the traditional curtain raiser to the famous three day July Festival at Newmarket and is always a race which is guaranteed to get the meeting off to a perfect start.

It is raced over 1 mile on the July course and is open only to fillies of 3 years of age or older. It was promoted to a Group One race in 2004.

It was won last year by the outstanding French filly, Goldikova, who is trained by Freddie Head and who went on of course to win the Breeders Cup Mile at Santa Anita in November. Another notable winner of the race was the brilliant Soviet Song who won twice in 2004 and 2005.
