Sovereign Stakes


 * }

The Sovereign Stakes was a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to colts and geldings aged three years or older. It was run at Salisbury over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres), and was scheduled to take place each year in August.

The event was established in 2000, replacing the Whitchurch Conditions Stakes, and it was initially classed at Listed level. It was promoted to Group 3 status in 2004. It was removed from the pattern race programme by the British Horseracing Authority in 2024.

The Sovereign Stakes was one of Salisbury's two highest class races of the season, along with the Dick Poole Fillies' Stakes.
