2026 Lockinge Stakes Trends

May 14, 2026
Andy Newton

The Lockinge Stakes is a Group One race staged at Newbury racecourse and run over a distance of 1 mile.

First run in 1958 the contest is for 3 year-olds and older horses and has been won 4 times in the last 15 years by the Richard Hannon yard.

In recent years the race has also been dominated by 4 year-olds, with 15 of the last 21 runnings going to horses in that age group, while 17 of the last 22 winners hailed from the first three in the betting.

Here at GEEGEEZ we look back at past winners of the race, plus are on-hand with all the key ahead of the 2026 renewal - this year on Saturday 16th May 2026.
