Robin Hood Stakes

The Robin Hood Stakes is a Listed flat horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged three years or older. It is run at Nottingham over a distance of 1 mile and 75 yards (1,678 metres), and is scheduled to take place each year in late October or early November. Prior to 2022 it was run on the Rowley Mile course at Newmarket over 1 mile. The first two scheduled runnings at Nottingham in 2022 and 2023 were abandoned due to a waterlogged course.^[1][2]
