The Cocked Hat Stakes is a Listed flat horse race in Great Britain open to three-year-old colts and geldings.
It is run at Goodwood over a distance of 1 mile 3 furlongs and 44 yards (2,253 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in May.
The event was established in 1970, and it was originally called the Predominate Stakes, although developed from a similar race called the Levin Down Stakes run up to 1969.
For a period the Predominate Stakes was contested over 1 mile and 4 furlongs.
Its title recalls a light-hearted race staged at Goodwood in the 19th century, in which each rider had to wear a military hat.
