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 $1 million in prize money as of 2024.

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 before returning to $500,000 in prize money for 2021 and increased to $600,000 for 2023 before reaching the million-dollar stakes in 2024.

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 Militarize (2023), King’s Legacy (2020), Guelph (2013), Pierro (2012) and Helmet (2011).

In 2022 She’s Extreme improved on a lead-up Inglis Sires’ second to win the Champagne Stakes. That year’s Golden Slipper Stakes – Inglis Sires’ double winning filly Fireburn meanwhile ran second in the Champagne Stakes results.

She’s Extreme went on to frank the 2022 Champagne Stakes form returning in the spring for a second in the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m), third in the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) and victory in the Group 1 VRC Oaks (2500m) in Melbourne over the Cup Carnival.

In 2023 trainer Chris Waller completed the Sydney 2YO Triple Crown with Shinzo winning the Golden Slipper before Militarize took out the Inglis Sires’ – Champagne Stakes double.

Militarize franked the 2023 Champagne Stakes form that spring returning to win the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m).

The 2024 Champagne Stakes runs at Royal Randwick on Saturday April 20, 2024 and offers $1 million in stakes for the first time.
