The Sagaro Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged four years or older. It is run over a distance of 2 miles (3,219 metres) at Ascot in late April or early May.

History

The event was formerly known as the Paradise Stakes, and it was originally held at Hurst Park. For a period it was contested by three-year-olds over 1¼ miles.[1] It was later a race for older horses over 1 mile, 6 furlongs and 66 yards.[2]

The Paradise Stakes continued to be staged at Hurst Park until 1962. It was transferred to Ascot in 1963, and temporarily switched to Newbury in 1964.

The race was renamed the Sagaro Stakes in 1978.[3] It was named after Sagaro, the winner of Ascot's Gold Cup in each of the preceding three seasons.

The Sagaro Stakes was given Group 3 status in 1983. That year's edition was abandoned due to waterlogging, so it was first run as a Group race in 1984.[4]

Several winners of the Sagaro Stakes have won the Gold Cup in the same season. The most recent was Estimate in 2013.

The title Paradise Stakes is now assigned to a different race at Ascot, a 1-mile Listed event for older horses.[5]
