Winners And Past Results

The Warwick Stakes is an Australian Turf Club Group 2 Australian horse race run at weight for age. FREE $250 Bet

It is contested over a distance of 1400 metres and is held annually at Warwick Farm Racecourse in Sydney in August.

Prize money for the Warwick Stakes is worth $150,000.

Horses contesting this event are most likely to head on to the Chelmsford Stakes (1600m) at Randwick Racecourse in a fortnight or the George Main Stakes (1600m) held at Randwick towards the end of September.

The Warwick Stakes has been won by some genuinely top-line horses including Lonhro (2001 & 2003), Sunline (1999), and Super Impose (1990 & 1991). It is one of the oldest races in the Sydney, dating back to 1923 when it was first held as a Principal race.

The Warwick Stakes was upgraded to Group 2 status in 1979, and has seen just one distance change when the 2001 race was run over 1300m.

2011 Warwick Stakes

Pinwheel raced well back in the field in the early stages of the race but was moved forward to be just behind the leaders at the turn. The gelding lengthened stride at the top of the straight and charged down the outside to record a comfortable victory over an honest Ilovethiscity with Startmeup in third.
