Underwood Stakes


Underwood Stakes

Winners and Past Results

The Underwood Stakes is a Group 1 weight for age Australian horse race. FREE $200 Bet

It is contested over a distance of 1800 metres and is held annually at Caulfield Racecourse in Melbourne in late September each year during the Spring Racing Carnival.

Prize money for the Underwood Stakes is worth $350,000.

It has been won by the likes of Northerly (twice), Octagonal, and Elvstroem in recent years.

The Underwood Stakes is held on the same day as the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m) and these two races are now the first Group One races of the new racing season in Melbourne.

The Underwood Stakes is run over an uncommon distance of 1800 metres and serves as a good race for those horses looking for longer than 1600 metres, and for horses who will be stepping up to longer distances around 2000m/2400m in coming weeks.

First held in 1924 at the Werribee Racing Club racecourse, the Underwood Stakes was an 8 furlong (approx. 1600m) race which was changed to 7 furlongs for 1943.

From 1948 the race was moved to Caulfield Racecourse, the 8 furlong was increased to 9 furlongs (approx. 1800m). This was until 1954 when it was once again increased by another furlong. Eventually in 1994 the race became a definite 1800 metre race. Up until 1979 the Underwood Stakes was a principal race which was run twice in 1944.

2011 Underwood Stakes

Lion Tamer is now regarded as a serious Melbourne Cup contender following an impressive victory in this 1800 metre Group 1 event. The four-year-old relished the extra distance and always looked comfortable in the middle stages of the race. As they neared the turn, he charged up from midfield and maintained good speed in the straight to run down outsider Southern Speed, with Midas Touch in third.
