St James’s Stakes History

The first-ever edition of the St James’s Palace Stakes was hosted in 1834. Since the modern grading of races came onto the scene in the early 1970s, the St James’s Palace Stakes has been both a Group 2 and a Group 1.

It received its current status at the top of the tier in 1899. Because of the distance and conditions of the race, being open only to 3-year-old colts, it’s not uncommon to see participants who have taken on the 2000 Guineas or the Irish 2000 Guineas.

Coroebus 4/6 FAV in St James’s Palace Stakes Racing Odds

COROEBUS is the current 4/6 leader in St James’s Palace Stakes odds for Royal Ascot 2022* (odds recorded at 18:54 GMT on March 14th, 2022 at Paddy Power).

Given what he has produced so far, the youngster looks like a good one.

He goes for the Charlie Appleby/William Buick trainer/jockey combo.

Coroebus produced some fantastic juvenile efforts, winning two of his three runs as a 2-year-old.

Truth be told, if luck had been on his side at Newmarket in the Group 2 Juddmonte in September, he would be going into Royal Ascot 2022 undefeated.

He was beaten by a neck in the Juddmonte by Royal Patronage.

Coroebus returned to action for the first time this year in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and he looked so impressive there in April.

He claimed the win, by three-quarters of a length ahead of Native Trail.

Coroebus clearly sets the standard for the St James’s Palace Stakes.

St James’s Palace Stakes Betting Contenders

We have already sized up the St James’s Palace stakes betting favourite for the 2022 renewal.

But our experts have to dig through the field to size up the competition. Is there someone in this intriguing field that can take down the favourite?

MY PROSPERO can reach the top level in his career and he has been a rapid improver this season.

The Willie Haggas-trainer contender didn’t win on his debut but has taken his form forward in both runs this season.

He opened with a maiden win before taking the Heron at Sandown (Listed) a month ago. My Prospero is on the up and contender for the places at least.

Another one from Haggas is MALJOOM who could have a credible shot at the places.

He brings an unbeaten record to the table having won three from three.

The most recent of those was at the German 2000 Guineas three weeks ago.

So he is in form and match fit and looks as if he has the potential to go places as well.

MIGHTY ULYSSES is another in the St James’s Palace Stake betting lineup that looks as if he has a high ceiling.

Mighty Ulysses, who is from the Gosdens, is not without a chance either after a runner-up at the Silver Bowl.

He was under a loss of pressure from the weight in that one. But form from that Haydock run has been franked.

Mighty Ulysses comes up all the way from a handicap to a Group 1 on Tuesday, but his yard has a decent record in this.
