Queen Charlotte Fillies' Stakes

The Queen Charlotte Stakes was created as a new Listed race in 2018 and required royal approval for the title, which was given by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The race carries the name of Queen Charlotte, the consort of George III. The title commemorates the Queen Charlotte Stakes, a race run at Chelmsford Racecourse in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Past winners of the Queen Charlotte Filles’ Stakes have included UAE Group winning Soft Whisper; Multi-group 1 heroine Highfield Princess; and 1000 winner Guineas Billesdon Brook.
