The Gimcrack Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in Great Britain open to two-year-old colts and geldings.
It is run at York over a distance of 6 furlongs (1,207 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in August.
Gimcrack won twenty-seven times in a career of thirty-six races, but none of his victories were achieved at York.
The race is currently staged on the third day of York's four-day Ebor Festival meeting.
The owner of the winning horse is traditionally invited to give a speech at the annual Gimcrack Dinner, which is held at the racecourse in December.
