The Stockholms Stora Pris is a Group 3 flat horse race in Sweden open to thoroughbreds aged four years or older. It is run over a distance of 1,750 metres (1 mile and 165 yards) at Bro Park from 2016[1] (earlier at Täby before the closure of the venue), in June.
The event was established in 1930,[2] and its initial prize money was 12,000 kronor. The first winner was called St Hans.[3]
For a period the Stockholms Stora Pris held Listed status. It was promoted to Group 3 level in 2006. It is currently one of two Group races in Sweden, along with the Stockholm Cup International.
