Other Factors

Six winners were undefeated. Buratino, who won in 2015, had been beaten twice over 5f but was undefeated over 6f.

Don’t dismiss the outsiders. Two of the last five winners have returned at 80-1 and 150-1 and there has only been one successful favourite in that period.

What happened in the Coventry Stakes last year?

Gstaad boosted his already lofty reputation by running out a convincing winner of the Coventry Stakes, the first juvenile race at the meeting. Ryan Moore’s mount made smooth headway and quickened smartly to score by three lengths, with 80-1 Do Or Do Not and 66-1 Coppull finishing second and third. Gstaad was a second winning Coventry favourite in three years for Aidan O’Brien, who saddled market leader River Tiber to success in 2023.
