The Sydney Stakes is a Group 3 race that is run under weight for age conditions for open class sprinters over 1200m at Randwick Racecourse, boasting a prize pool of $2 million.
Since the inaugural running of the Sydney Stakes in 1968, it has been classified as a Principal race between 1968 and 1977, before it was upgraded to Listed in 1978 until 2017. However, since 2018 the Sydney Stakes has been run as a Group 3 contest.
After being run over 1000m for most of its history, the Sydney Stakes has been run over 1200m, since the Australian Turf Club set it up to be the consolation race for runners that did not receive a slot in The Everest.
Notable winners of the Sydney Stakes include Deprive (2019), Pierata (2018), In Her Time (2017), Deep Field (2014), Famous Seamus (2012 & 2013), Shogun Lodge (2003) and Diamond Benny (1988 & 1989).

Recent Sydney Stakes winners

David Pfieffer and Rachel King have combined with Rocketing By (+6000) to cause a massive boilover in the Group 3 Sydney Stakes at Randwick. After getting a great run along the rail throughout the race, the son of So You Think flew up the inside running rail to nab In The Congo (+500) in the final strides of the race. The David Vandyke-trained Weona Smartone (+1800) finished off nicely on the outside to run into third.
-
The heavily-backed favourite Big Parade (+140) has claimed the Group 3 Sydney Stakes at his first weight-for-age race of his career. After settling on-speed, Joshua Parr pushed the button on the son of Deep Field and he took the lead with 200m to go. Standout (+1000) and Prime Candidate (+2500) tried to stay with the winner, but Big Parade proved too tough at the end of the 1200m contest.
-
Trumbull (+1300) went into Saturday’s Group 3 Sydney Stakes first-up for his preparation, but it didn’t matter as he went onto win the 1200m contest. This son of Darci Brahma ran home over the top of the slowing leader in Signore Fox (+4000) to take the lead. Standout (+320) burst out of the pack late to challenge the winner late, but couldn’t get past Trumbull in the final strides.
-
Deprive (+800) has kept his unbeaten record intact after taking out the Group 3 Sydney Stakes at Randwick. The James Cummings-trained galloper settled near last before getting to the very outside and letting down with a blistering turn of foot. In the final 200m this son of Denman flew home to run over the top of the Champagne Cuddles (+600) and the race favourite Brutal (-105.26), who finished in second and third, respectively.
