Dewhurst Stakes 2023 Trends To Look For
The Dewhurst Stakes is arguably the best 2 year-old race on the UK horse racing calendar as we get a chance to see some of the equine stars of the future.
In recent years this has been backed up with the mighty Frankel winning the race in 2010 before going onto cement his greatest in the coming years.
While Native Trial, who is honoured this year in the race title, took the pot in 2021 and last year we had the Frankie Dettori-ridden Chaldean take the Dewhurst before winning the Newmarket 2,000 Guineas the following season.
Therefore, it’s safe to say any horse that wins this ‘end-of-season’ juvenile prize will figure high up in the betting for two of the 2024 English Classic races – the 2,000 Guineas and Epsom Derby.
The latest horse to try and etch his way into superstardom is City Of Troy. Another on the Aidan O’Brien conveyor belt that has impressed in winning his first two starts and is already the 5/2 favourite for the 2024 Epsom Derby and 2,000 Guineas next season with the best UK horse racing betting sites.
He’ll also be trying to give trainer Aidan O’Brien his eighth win in the Dewhurst Stakes and is set to go off as the short-priced favourites – so, does he fit the key Dewhurst Stakes trends?

Looking To Oppose City Of Troy? Two Big Dewhurst Trends To Cling To
City of Troy is likely to figure in a lot of weekend horse racing accas, being a short-priced favourite.
This is because, it was hard to not been impressed with his last win in the Superlative Stakes on the July course at Newmarket in the middle of July – winning by 6 1/2 lengths.
Prior to that he won easily on debut at the Curragh early that month and has since been kept fresh with the Dewhurst Stakes the big target before possible tilts as the 2,000 Guineas and Epsom Derby next term.
City Of Troy Falls Down On Two Big Dewhurst Stakes Trends
However, if you are a horse racing punter that likes to take on these short-priced favourites, there is some good news to cling to.
Yes, City Of Troy’s trainer Aidan O’Brien has won this race seven times (5 of the last 10), so knows what’s needed and his jockey Ryan Moore has four successes to his name.
It’s also a Group One that the Irish have won 11 of the last 21 – but there are two monster stats that Cit Of Troy will need to overcome if he’s to win the Dewhurst Stakes for an eighth time for O’Brien.
Firstly – ALL of the last 21 Dewhurst Stakes winners had raced at least 3 times before. City Of Troy only has two runs under his belt to date.
Secondly, 15 of the last 21 winners (71%) had won at least three times. Now, some may argue how can City Of Troy win 3 races, if he’s only run in two – but this ‘linked-in’ trend to the previous one still applies.
So, with these Newmarket stats in mind – are you still with City Of Troy, or against him?
We give you the stats, you make the decisions.
See below the last 10 Dewhurst Stakes winners and how many runs they had prior to their Newmarket victory.
