Winning the Falmouth Stakes often boosts the reputation and value of the victorious horse, especially for breeding purposes. It is often used as a stepping stone to other major races later in the season, such as the Sussex Stakes and the Matron Stakes.

The event, which started back in 1911, is named after Evelyn Boscawen, 6th Viscount Falmouth, who was an owner and breeder of horses in the 19th century.

Two horses - Sonic Lady and Soviet Song - have won the race twice. These are the only multiple winners of the race in the history of the Falmouth Stakes.

The leading jockey is Lester Piggott, who has won the race 7 times, while the leading trainers are Alec Taylor, Jr. and Sir Michael Stoute, who have both won 6 races.

The Falmouth Stakes continues to be a cornerstone of the British flat racing season, celebrated for its history, prestige, and the quality of competition it attracts.

The race draws large crowds of racing enthusiasts, including many from the racing and breeding industry, given its significance for future breeding prospects.
