The Canterbury Stakes is a Group 1 race held at Royal Randwick on Randwick Guineas Day during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
The Canterbury Stakes is a 1300m middle distance sprinting event held at Randwick Racecourse over the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival. Raced in early-mid March under weight-for-age conditions, the Canterbury Stakes offers $750,000 in prize money.
The Canterbury Stakes is one of two Group 1 races held at Royal Randwick on Randwick Guineas Day along with the Group 1 $1 million Randwick Guineas (1600m) for three-year-olds. There are a number of other Group status support races on the cards including the Group 2 Challenge Stakes (1000m) for the sprinters.
The Canterbury Stakes is an ideal lead-up race to the Group 1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m) held a fortnight later at Rosehill Gardens, with the winner of the Canterbury Stakes exempt from the ballot for the George Ryder Stakes. The latest gallopers to complete the Canterbury Stakes – George Ryder Stakes double are Pierro (2013) and Forbidden Love (2022). The 2021 Canterbury Stakes winner The Bostonian meanwhile went on to run second in that year’s George Ryder Stakes results.
The Canterbury Stakes winner is also exempt from that year’s Doncaster Mile and in 2022 after completing the Canterbury – George Ryder double, Forbidden Love ran fourth in that year’s Doncaster Mile results.
The 2022 Doncaster Mile form was further franked with the runner-up Lighthouse winning the Group 1 Coolmore Classic next start.
Horses may come into the Canterbury Stakes field via an earlier autumn run in a host of lead-up sprints including the Group 2 Apollo Stakes (1400m) at Royal Randwick in February or the Group 2 Hobartville Stakes (1400m) for the three-year-olds. Appearance (2014) was the last horse to do the Apollo Stakes – Canterbury Stakes double.
The Group 2 Expressway Stakes (1200m) in late January is another good lead-up into the Canterbury Stakes and Savatiano (2021) was the last to do the double improving on her Canterbury second the year before.
The 2021 Canterbury Stakes form was further franked with the third place-getter Masked Crusader winning Melbourne’s Group 1 William Reid Stakes (1200m) at The Valley next start and a second the run after in the Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) at Randwick. He would also go on to run second to Nature Strip in that spring’s The Everest race.
The 2023 Canterbury Stakes form was franked with the runner-up, Imperatriz, going on to win her next five starts on the trot including Group 1 victories in the William Reid, Moir, Manikato, and Flemington’s Champions Stakes.
The Canterbury Stakes 2024 ran on Saturday March 9, 2024 offering the winner a ballot exemption for both the George Ryder Stakes and Doncaster Mile in 2024 and was won in a massive upset by the fit mare Lady Laguna ($11).

The Canterbury Stakes nominations are the first indicator of the horses that will line-up in the Group 1 weight-for-age field on Randwick Guineas Day.
First won in 1929 by Amounis under jockey J. Munro, the Canterbury Stakes was originally a 6 furlong (approx. 1200m) race until 1973 when it officially became a 1200m race. Thirty-one years later in 2004, the Canterbury Stakes became a 1300m event. However it was temporarily increased to 1550m in 2008.
Since 1979, the Canterbury Stakes held Group 2 status and has been won in three consecutive years by a single horse. Between 1930 and 1932, Holdfast managed to reach the finish line first each year. The race’s double winners include San Domenico (1950-51), Sky High (1961-62), At Sea (1988-89), and More Joyous (2011-12). The most recent winner of the Canterbury Stakes / George Ryder Stakes double was Forbidden Love (2022).
For the 2013 edition of the race the Canterbury Stakes was been upgraded to Group 1 level. The prize money for the race was also upgraded from $175,000 to $350,000, with the race currently offering $750,000 in prize money as of 2024.
The most successful jockey in the Canterbury Stakes is Darren Beadman with seven wins in 1988, 1989, 2000, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
