Run over 1m2f the Group Three Matchbook Brigadier Gerard Stakes is staged at Sandown racecourse each year towards the end of May.

In recent years, the valuable prize has been dominated by the 4 year-olds, with 13 of the last 19 going to that age bracket, while we’ve seen five winning favourites in the last 19 renewals and jockey Ryan Moore has ridden FOUR of the last 6 winners and six of the last 11!

Here at SUREWIN, we are on-hand to look back at past winners, plus have all the stats ahead of the 2022 race – this year run on Thursday 26th May.
