In previous editions of the Sire Stakes there were 1 week of heats and then a final or simply just a straight race. Where heats took place the fastest horses from the heats went to the inside draws. Since the format has changed in the Sire Stakes where there are now multiple legs throughout the year and then a final, neither the points nor the times are relevant to the post position for the final. This is because it is not mandatory to run in every leg. This is the second year this format has been used and last year, no queries were received. The new conditions have already been published in the public domain and they will be added to the Sire Stakes section on the BHRC website in due course and the BHRC would like to sincerely apologise for any confusion this may have caused.

Entries for 3rd October now open on the BHRC online entries system.
