Linlithgow Stakes

Group Two Betting Guide
Date: Saturday, November 4, 2024
Location: Flemington Racecourse – Melbourne, Queensland
Prize Money: $500,000
Distance: 1400m

The Linlithgow Stakes, registered as the TAB Stakes since 2014, is a Group 2 race held at Flemington annually on VRC Derby Day during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

It is run under Handicap conditions and covers a distance of 1400m. The inaugural running of the race took place in 1868, with Gulnare emerging as the victor.

As of 2023, the Linlithgow Stakes carries a prizemoney pool of $500,000.

Throughout its long history, the Linlithgow Stakes has undergone several changes in distance. It initially spanned six furlongs, then expanded to seven furlongs from 1887.

In 1908, it was run over a mile before reverting back to seven furlongs in 1968, a distance it maintained until 1992. Finally, in 2022, the race was extended to its current distance of 1400m.

Glamour Puss was the last horse to accomplish the Linlithgow Stakes/Champions Sprint Classic Cup week double, achieving this feat in 2005. Another notable performance came from Osborne Bulls, who won the race in 2018 and went on to make history by finishing second in five consecutive Group 1 races during the autumn racing season.

In 2020, Kemalpasa secured back-to-back victories in the Linlithgow Stakes, and interestingly, he once again defeated Order Of Command. The following year, Kemalpasa narrowly missed out on a win, finishing a mere nose behind the winner Justacanta.

Recent Linlithgow Stakes results

  • Under the expert guidance of champion jockey James McDonald, Old Flame was always going to be tough for frontrunner Poland to hold off after he made his move on the straight in the 1400m Group 2 feature worth $500,000. Having been a tough watch for punters at his last start at Caulfield, Old Flame was given plenty of clear air a long way out. Despite being 2.5 lengths off Poland at the 250m mark, Old Flame hit the lead with 75m to go and was careering away from his rivals in dominant fashion.
  • Less than half a length covered the first four in the 2021 Linlithgow Stakes (1200m) at Flemington, but it was the outsider of the field — Justacanta — who did best in a driving finish. Despite being two-lengths off the leaders with 100m to go, the Patrick Payne-trained Justacanta peeled off runners to chase down the admirably honest topweight Kemalpasa by a short-head with a nose back to Isaurian in third. The Linlithgow Stakes win for Justacanta was his second black-type success in as as many starts at Flemington, having saluted in the Listed Paris Lane Stakes the start prior.
  • Having won the race 12 months earlier, the Richard & Chantelle Jolly-trained Kemalpasa was determined to defend his Linlithgow Stakes crown and he did so in style. The Richard & Chantelle Jolly-trained sprinter was given a four week freshen-up following a third-placed finish in the Gilgai Stakes and it paid dividends. Having raced up on speed from the get go, Kemalpasa was there to be beaten with 200m to go, but the gutsy sprinter managed to keep finding under the urgings of Craig Williams to go on and win the race by a length.
  • The Richard & Chantelle Jolly-trained Kemalpasa entered the 2019 Linlithgow Stakes as a $10 chance, but with 150m to go, you didn’t want to be on anything else as the emerging sprinters charged clear of an impressive field. Having won the Listed Durbridge Stakes at Morphettville the start prior, Kemalpasa proved to be a touch too slick for his rivals in damp conditions at Flemington.
