The Strensall Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged three years or older. It is run at York over a distance of 1 mile and 177 yards (1,771 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in August.
History
The event is named after Strensall, a village located several miles to the north of York. It was formerly restricted to fillies, and it used to be contested over 7 furlongs. For a period it was classed at Listed level, and it was usually staged in early September.
The race was opened to male horses and extended to its present distance in 1987. It was promoted to Group 3 status in 2003.
The Strensall Stakes became part of the Ebor Festival in 2008, but that year's running was abandoned because of a waterlogged course. It now takes place on the final day of the meeting, which is held over four days in mid August.
