Cocked Hat Stakes

The Cocked Hat Stakes is a Listed flat horse race in Great Britain open to three-year-old thoroughbred colts and geldings. It is run at Goodwood over a distance of 1 mile and 3 furlongs (2,213 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. It was named in honour of Predominate, a three-time winner of the Goodwood Stakes in successive years from 1958 to 1960. He also won the Goodwood Cup in 1961.

For a period the Predominate Stakes was contested over 1 mile and 4 furlongs. It was cut to 1 mile, 1 furlong and 192 yards in 1988, and extended to 1 mile and 3 furlongs in 2001. It was renamed the Cocked Hat Stakes in 2007.

The race sometimes serves as a trial for the Epsom Derby. The only horse to have achieved victory in both events was Troy in 1979.
