It is run over a distance of 1 mile, 4 furlongs (Script error: No such module "convert".) at Newbury in April.
History
The event is named after John Porter (1838–1922), a successful horse trainer who co-founded Newbury Racecourse.[1]
The race was established in 1928, and it was originally held in late September. It was initially restricted to three-year-olds and run over 1 mile and 5 furlongs.[2] It was opened to four-year-olds in 1929,[3] and cut to 1¼ miles in 1936.[4]
The present version of the John Porter Stakes was introduced in 1949. From this point it was staged in April, and contested by older horses over 1½ miles.[5]
The John Porter Stakes is currently sponsored by Dubai Duty Free. Its sponsored title promotes the company's Finest Surprise lottery.
