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.
History
The event is named after Gimcrack, a successful racehorse in the 18th century. Gimcrack won twenty-seven times in a career of thirty-six races, but none of his victories were achieved at York.
The Gimcrack Stakes was established in 1846, and it was originally open to horses of either gender. It was restricted to male horses in 1987.
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.[1]
