Falmouth Stakes
 A Brief History Of Falmouth Stakes The Falmouth Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race for three-year-old and above thoroughbred fillies and mares run over a distance of 1 mile at Newmarket Racecourse in early July. It was first run in 1911 and named in honour of 6th Viscount Falmouth, who had been a leading owner/breeder in the 19th century. The race was restricted to the three-year-old generation only until 1973, and from 1975 to 1991 it was known as the Child Stakes. When the Pattern system was introduced in 1971 the race was given Group 3 status, and it has been upgraded twice since, to Group 2 in 1987 and to Group 1 in 2004.
