Lillie Langtry Stakes

The Lillie Langtry Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in Great Britain open to fillies and mares aged three years or older.

It is run at Goodwood over a distance of 1 mile and 6 furlongs (2,816 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late July or early August.

It was named after Lillie Langtry, a British actress who was a mistress of King Edward VII.

As a woman she was not allowed to register the horse under her own name and used the pseudonym Mr Jersey, a reference to her place of birth.

[1] In 1907 Langtry became Lady de Bathe when her husband succeeded to the baronetcy following the death of his father.
