The Woodcote Stakes is a Listed flat horse race in Great Britain open to two-year-old Thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 6 furlongs (1,207 metres) at Epsom Downs in June.

History

The Woodcote Stakes, initially spelled Woodcot, was first run in 1794. It was run over the last half-mile of Epsom Downs Racecourse. Colts carried 8 st, with fillies carrying 7 st 1 lb.[1]

The race was not run between 1800 and 1806, but was re-established in 1807 and run over the last six furlongs of Epsom track. Colts carried 8 st 3 lb, with fillies carrying 8 st 0 lb.[2] The following year the race was reduced in distance to half a mile and the weights the horses carried increased by two pounds.[3] The weights rose by a further pound in 1812.[4] In 1839 the race was moved to the new two-year-old course and the distance was increased to six furlongs.[5] In 1842 the subscription fee was set at 15 sov. The weights were also changes, with horses carrying one pound less and the winner of the Two-year-old Stakes at Gorhambury carrying a five-pound penalty.[6] In 1844 the subscription was reduced to 10 sov.[7] In 1847 the weights were returned to what they were before 1842 and the penalty was removed.[8]

Winners of the race have included Leamington, Cremorne, Ladas, Sceptre, The Tetrarch, My Babu and My Swallow.

The Woodcote Stakes currently holds Listed status and is sponsored by Investec. The value of the race in 2013 will be £30,000.[9]
