Roman Consul Stakes

Winners and Past Results for the Roman Consul Stakes.

Among the Group 2 races for three year old horses hosted by the Australian Turf Club during the Sydney spring racing carnival at Randwick Racecourse is the Roman Consul Stakes.

The Roman Consul Stakes, a set weight race, with colts and geldings carrying 56.5 kilograms and fillies at 54.5 kilograms is held over 1200 metres with $300,000 offered to the winning connections, which in recent times has included formidable sprinters of the turf such as Buffering in 2010 and Fastnet Rock in 2004.

Racegoers have plenty to look forward with a packed race card with a number of Group 1 races including the Epsom Handicap, Spring Champion Stakes, Flight Stakes, and The Metropolitan also held on the day.

The race is held in honour of Roman Consul, an Australian thoroughbred racehorse.

For many three year olds, the Roman Consul Stakes is a good hunting ground and an opportunity to step up in group racing over the season and the following year.

Our Maizcay, Anthems, and Encounter won the Roman Consul Stakes between 1995 and 1997, and went on to achieve greater success during their career. Exceed and Excel followed suit in 2003.
