The Group 3 Gimcrack Stakes is a 1000m sprint held at Randwick and is restricted to two-year-old fillies.

Run for $200,000, the Gimcrack Stakes is the first time punters get to see the new-season juvenile fillies at a race track in Sydney under raceday conditions.

First run in 1906, no Gimcrack Stakes winner has gone on to win the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) during the autumn.

Wenona Girl, who won the race is in 1959 is arguably the most credentialed winner of the Gimcrack Stakes, going on to win nine times at Group 1 level throughout her career.

James McDonald is arguably the jockey to follow in the Gimcrack Stakes in recent years, winning the race four times since 2015.

2023 Gimcrack Stakes result



1stManaal (+1800)
2ndCelestial Bling (-111.11)
3rdRepose (+410)

Recent runnings of the Gimcrack Stakes:

  • Manaal took out the Group 3 Gimcrack Stakes after showing an explosive finish at the end of 1000m at Randwick, under the urgings of returning jockey Tommy Berry. The Michael Freedman-trained two-year-old filly settled just behind the speed after jumping well from barrier three, and as the field rounded the home turn, Berry was able to get her into clear air to let down in the final 300m. Joining in down the outside was another roughie, Repose ($23.00) who looked to have taken the lead with 200m to go, but ultimately threw the race away by ducking out on Ryan Maloney in the final 50m of the race. The unlucky runner of the race was the runner-up Celestial Bling ($6.00) from the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott stable, who was held up on the fence behind the slowing leaders before bursting through a gap to finish off strong and fight out the finish.
  • Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable clinched their maiden victory in the Gimcrack Stakes with two-year-old filly Platinum Jubilee, guided by Regan Bayliss, storming to a strong victory in the 1000m feature. Adding to their accolades, the stable secured a quinella as the $3.30 favorite, Perfect Proposal under Tim Clark, claimed second place. While Perfect Proposal and Clark maintained a position in the leading trio entering the home straight, Platinum Jubilee and Bayliss surged from the final four in the robust 14-horse field. Initially trailing by five lengths with 200m left, Platinum Jubilee showcased remarkable acceleration, surging past rivals in the final 20m to secure victory with a comfortable 1.25 length margin.
  • In a repeat of last year, champion sire Written Tycoon once again sired a Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained winner of the Group 3 Gimcrack Stakes (1000m). Coolangatta delivered a stunning 3.5-length victory, establishing herself as the early favourite for Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) in March. Jumping on speed from barrier 10, Coolangatta ($2.50) initially sat three-wide through a frenetic opening furlong. Echoing Enthaar’s run from barrier eight the previous year, she navigated the turn, and as pacesetters Pantonario and Deep Expectation faded at the 300m mark, jockey James McDonald remained composed. Coolangatta then unleashed a lethal turn of foot, sealing the race in mere strides.
  • The first two-year-old race of the 2020/21 Sydney season quickly produced a standout juvenile when Enthaar (by Written Tycoon) dominated the Group 3 Keeneland Gimcrack Stakes (1000m). An impressive winner of her recent barrier trial at Kensington, Enthaar started as the clear favorite and lived up to expectations, turning the race into a one-horse show. After a clean break, the ultra-precocious filly settled in third and raced with the poise of a seasoned professional under James McDonald. When asked to accelerate, Enthaar unleashed a scintillating turn of foot, effortlessly pulling away to secure a commanding victory.
