The Sun Chariot Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race in Great Britain open to fillies and mares aged three years or older.
The event is named after Sun Chariot, the fillies' Triple Crown winner in 1942.
Due to war, that year's Triple Crown races were all staged at Newmarket.
The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and the Sun Chariot Stakes was classed at Group 2 level.
The Sun Chariot Stakes was held on the final day of Newmarket's three-day Cambridgeshire Meeting, the same day as the Cambridgeshire Handicap, but was moved to a fixture a week later from 2014.
