History

The title of the event acknowledges the friendship between the 5th Duke of Richmond, a former owner of Goodwood Racecourse, and the House of Orange-Nassau. The race was established in 1840, and it was originally restricted to three-year-old fillies. During the early part of its history it was contested over a distance of 1 mile. It was extended to 1½ miles in 1900, and shortened to its present length in 1911.

The Nassau Stakes was opened to fillies and mares aged four or older in 1975. For a period it was classed at Group 2 level, and it was promoted to Group 1 status in 1999.

The race is currently held on the third day of the five-day Glorious Goodwood meeting.

gollark: Anyway,```scheme(define actually-forgiving-grudge (lambda (x y) (let* ( (defection-count (length (filter (lambda (m) (= m 1)) x))) (lookback (+ 1 (inexact->exact (floor (expt defection-count 1.5))))) (result (if (memq 1 (take lookback x)) 1 0)) ) result)))```did beat tit-for-tat but not forgiving-grudge or the regular one.
gollark: So you DID read my link!
gollark: Is your strategy an extended "democracy" thing or what?
gollark: Okay, so I think I'll do the forgiving one by... taking the total defection count, and looking back (SOME VALUE)^that entries for badness, and defecting if detected.
gollark: I'll make `actually-forgiving-grudger`.
