The Champagne Stakes is a Group 1 race run on All Aged Stakes Day in mid-April at Royal Randwick Racecourse during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
The Group 1 ATC Champagne Stakes is the final two-year-old Group status race of the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival. Held at Randwick Racecourse on All Aged Stakes Day in mid to late April, the 1600m Champagne Stakes is worth $500,000 in prize money. As a set weights race for juveniles, colts and geldings must carry 56.5kg and fillies must carry 54.5kg. The 2020 edition of the Champagne Stakes was worth a reduced $400,000 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The mile clash takes place on the same day as the Group 1 All Aged Stakes (1400m) and is run on the Saturday after The Championships finish-up at Royal Randwick. The key lead-up into the Champagne Stakes field is the Group 1 ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) held a fortnight earlier and recent winners of the double include King’s Legacy (2020), Guelph (2013), Pierro (2012) and Helmet (2011).
The 2020 Champagne Stakes ran at Royal Randwick on Saturday April 18, 2020 and was won by the Peter & Paul Snowden-trained favourite King’s Legacy.
