The May Hill Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in Great Britain open to two-year-old fillies . It is run at Doncaster over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres), and takes place each year in September.
The event is named after May Hill , a successful filly whose victories included Doncaster's Park Hill Stakes in 1975. It was established in 1976, and was originally classed at Group 3 level. It was promoted to Group 2 status in 2003.
The May Hill Stakes is currently held on the second day of the four-day St. Leger Festival.
The leading horses from the race often go on to compete in the Fillies' Mile . The last to win both was Inspiral in 2021, when she was unbeaten in four races.
Leading jockey (6 wins):
Frankie Dettori – Calando (1998), Teggiano (1999), White Moonstone (2010), Lyric of Light (2011), Indigo Girl (2020), Inspiral (2021)
