The Wolferton Handicap is a flat Handicap horse race in Great Britain open to horses of four-year-old and up. It is run at Ascot over a distance of 1 mile and 2 furlongs (2,012 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in June on the fifth day of the Royal Ascot meeting.
The race was first run in 2002[1] when Royal Ascot was extended to five days to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II. It was named after the village of Wolferton near Sandringham House and initially called the Wolferton Rated Stakes.
