Concorde Stakes

The Concorde Stakes is a Group 3 race held at Randwick racecourse in early September each year and the race boasts a prize pool of $500,000.

The Concorde Stakes is run over 1000m and under Set Weights and Penalty conditions for open class horses.

After being exclusively run at Rosehill from 1990 to 2010, the Concorde Stakes was held at Warwick Farm for two years, before being run at Randwick from 2013 onwards.

From the first running of the event in 1990, the Concorde Stakes was classified as a Listed race, before being upgraded to a Group 3 in 1997.

Many sprinters over the years have kicked off their spring campaign in the Concorde Stakes. In 2017 and 2018, Redzel won the Concorde Stakes on his way to back-to-back Everest wins later in the spring, while Nature Strip also completed the double in 2021.

Notable winners of the race include Eduardo (2022), Nature Strip (2021), Gytrash (2020), Redzel (2017, 2018 & 2019), Decision Time (2011, 2013) and Guineas (1999).

Recent Concorde Stakes results

• 2022: Eduardo kicked off his Everest campaign in style
  Eduardo has joined the likes of Redzel and Nature Strip as winners of the Concorde Stakes, as he bolted in to win by more than 2.5 lengths in the 2022 edition at Randwick. After opening as an even-money favourite, Eduardo drifted out to as much as $3 to win the Concorde Stakes with online bookmakers, but he never looked like going under after sitting outside the leader for Nash Rawiller. Eduardo was able to beat the consistent Athelric ($12), while Handle The Truth ($31) closed well into third place.
• 2021: Nature Strip wins Concorde Stakes in fine style
  Nature Strip bucked his first-up trend in the Group 3 Concorde Stakes, coasting away to win by 2.5 lengths at Royal Randwick. The $1.50 favourite led from go to woe, defeating the well-supported Wild Ruler and two-time Group 1 winner Trekking in easy fashion under James McDonald. Even after a slow getaway from the barriers, Nature Strip led with ease and as the field rounded the home turn, his lead over Wild Ruler only grew as they neared the finish line. Going into the Concorde first-up, there were some queries about Nature Strip’s first-up record, but he put those worries to bed with a dominant win.
• 2020: Gytrash topples Nature Strip hot edition of the Concorde
  South Australian star Gytrash ($5) knocked off the world’s premier sprinter Nature Strip ($1.45) in the Concorde Stakes at Randwick. Gytrash ran by Nature Strip over the final 50 metres to record a sizzling 55.81 seconds for the 1000-metre course at Randwick to be just outside of Redzel’s track record of 55.73s. Nature Strip, who was sent out a $1.45 favourite, was tested early as expected by Ball Of Muscle ($15) but he seemed set for victory as he shrugged him off inside the 200-metre mark. But then Gytrash hit top gear after slipping off the pace by a few lengths on the home turn, before bursting clear to beat Nature Strip, with Dirty Work ($10) in third place.
• 2019: Redzel records three-peat in Concorde Stakes
  Redzel ($7) showed punters he’s far from a spent force with a third-straight Concorde Stakes win at Randwick. Peter and Paul Snowden’s two-time Everest winner dashed straight to the lead and fended off the fast-finishing Pierata ($8) and an unlucky Graff ($9) to post his first win since October last year. Redzel made history with the win, becoming the first horse to win the Concorde Stakes three times in it’s short history.
