Hoppings Stakes

The Hoppings Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to mares and fillies aged three years or older. It is run at Newcastle over a distance of 1 mile 2 furlongs and 42 yards (2,050 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late June. It is named after the annual funfair which takes place each June on Newcastle's Town Moor, the original site of Newcastle racecourse before its move to Gosforth Park.
