The Somerville Tattersall Stakes, currently run as the Tattersalls Stakes, is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to two-year-old colts and geldings. It is run on the Rowley Mile at Newmarket over a distance of 7 furlongs (1,408 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late September.
History
The event is named after Edmund Somerville Tattersall (1863–1942), a senior partner of Tattersalls bloodstock auctioneers.
The race was formerly classed at Listed level, and it used to be open to horses of either gender. It was promoted to Group 3 status in 2000.
The Somerville Tattersall Stakes is currently held on the opening day of Newmarket's three-day Cambridgeshire Meeting. It is run two days before the Cambridgeshire Handicap.
The leading contenders sometimes go on to compete in the Dewhurst Stakes or the Racing Post Trophy.
