Racing Sharks VIP Tips Package:
The very first Linlithgow Stakes was run in 1868 and won by Gulnare. Back then the race was known as the Flying Stakes. Since then, some greats of the turf have won the race, including Phar Lap, Chatham, Ajax and Sky High.
There have been a number of horses who have won the Linlithgow Stakes in consecutive years, some of who have won it three times in a row. Barbelle, Chatham and Scamanda all managed to go back-to-back-to-back.
2019 winner Kemalpasa won the Linlithgow stakes in 1:10.08, however, the fastest time in the race over the last 21 years belongs to Pharein. In 1999, the David Hall-trained runner clocked 1:08.24 to claim victory.
