Cheveley Park Stakes
History
The event is named after Cheveley Park, an estate purchased by Harry McCalmont in 1892. It was established in 1899, and Lutetia won the inaugural running.The race is currently held on the final day of Newmarket's three-day Cambridgeshire Meeting, the same day as the Cambridgeshire Handicap.
The leading horses from the Cheveley Park Stakes often go on to compete in the following season's 1,000 Guineas. The first to win both was Pretty Polly, and the most recent was Special Duty.
