Nottingham in October have two maiden races celebrating the 1985 Triple Crown heroine Oh So Sharp (who made her debut at the course over 6F) and runaway 1985 Derby winner Slip Anchor (who won his second race as two year old over 10F at the course).

The Oh So Sharp Maiden Stakes is run over a mile which given that she did win the 1000 Guineas seems on point even though she would go on to win the Oaks over 12F and St Leger over 14F but when it comes to the Slip Anchor Maiden Stakes (and I kid you not) that is a race that is actually run over 5F!
