Run over 1m2f the Group Three Brigadier Gerard Stakes is staged at Sandown racecourse each year towards the end of May.
In recent years, the valuable prize has been dominated by the 4 year-olds, with 11 of the last 16 going to that age bracket, while we’ve seen five winning favourites in the last 16 renewals and jockey Ryan Moore has ridden home the last three winners!
We are on-hand to look back at past winners, plus have all the stats ahead of the 2019 race – this year run on Thursday 23rd May.
