Best Herbert Power Stakes bookmakers

The Herbert Power Stakes isn’t one of the star races of the spring carnival, so online bookmakers won’t open early all-in markets. Bookmakers will open markets for the Herbert Power the week of the race, with these odds usually launching when the field is available.

Some Herbet Power Stakes betting sites will allow you to bet via the TAB in advance, which means you can wager without seeing what the current odds are, while as the race draws closer fixed odds will become available.

All of our recommended horse betting sites offer betting on the Herbert Power Stakes and bookmaker bonuses will also be available in the days leading up to the race. These horse racing betting sites generally have apps available for iOS and Android smartphones.

Recent Herbert Power Stakes winners

  • Despite not nominating for the Caulfield Cup, the Danny O’Brien-trained Saracen Knight made a mess of Caulfield Cup hopefuls in the 2022 Herbert Power Stakes. Aided by a perfect steer from Jamie Kah, Saracen Knight justified his favourite take when putting a length on Makram ($21) and Desert Icon ($8), who was a further head away in third. The win handed Danny O’Brien his first win in the racing since 2007 after Master O’Reilly reigned supreme 15 years prior. The win ensured Saracen Knight was finally making a good fist of his career after being lost in the wilderness over the past 12 months with his penchant for soft tracks.
  • Having finished second in the Group 3 Naturalism Stakes, the Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained Delphi went one better to claim the Herbert Power Stakes and book his spot in the Caulfield Cup. Jockey Damien Oliver again did favourite backers a favour after winning the Caulfield Guineas on favourite Anamoe two races earlier. Oliver went for home before the home turn before Delphi ($1.95 fav) held The Chosen One ($11) to score by a length.
  • Chapada won his way into the Caulfield Cup when he scored impressively in the Group 2 Herbert Power, getting the better of Orderofthegarter. Having run second to Orderofthegarter in the Naturalism Stakes, the Mike Moroney-trained Chapada managed to turn the tables on his rivals in the “win and you’re in” qualifier. Having claimed the Herbert Power Stakes in 2002 with The Secondmortgage, it took Moroney 18 years to taste success in one of the more iconic Group 2 races on the Australian horse racing calendar.
  • In an impressive display of staying power, The Chosen One, a Kiwi stayer, secured a coveted spot in the Caulfield Cup and teetering on the brink of a potential Melbourne Cup run. This achievement follows a commanding performance in the Group 2 Herbert Power Stakes at Caulfield. The stakes were raised even before the race commenced as the favoured Steel Prince suffered an injury, cutting a leg in the barriers and subsequently being withdrawn. This unforeseen event cast doubt on Steel Prince’s Melbourne Cup campaign, despite being exempt from the ballot. Guided skillfully by jockey Damian Lane, The Chosen One saw his odds tighten from $9 to $6.50. He clinched victory by a margin of half a length over Prince Of Arran ($8.50), with Sully ($9.50) trailing a further three lengths behind in third place.
