The Autumn Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to two-year-old horses. It is run on the Rowley Mile at Newmarket over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in October.
History
The event was established in 1987, and it was originally held at Ascot . The inaugural running was abandoned because of a waterlogged course. For a period the race held Listed status, and it was promoted to Group 3 level in 2003.
The Autumn Stakes was transferred to Newmarket in 2011. It became part of a new fixture called Future Champions Day but from 2014 it moved to be run at the same fixture as the Cesarewitch Handicap . Since 2015 it has formed part of the revamped Future Champions Festival at Newmarket.
The leading horses from the race sometimes go on to compete in the Racing Post Trophy . The last to win both was Kingston Hill in 2013.
