The $1 million Coolmore Classic is a Group 1 race for fillies & mares run at Rosehill Gardens during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
The Coolmore Classic, registered as the Tad Kennedy Stakes, is a quality Group 1 race held as part of the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival in early-mid March each year.
Taking place midway through this exciting carnival as the marquee race on Coolmore Classic Day at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse, this 1500m event for fillies and mares is run under quality handicap conditions and is worth $1 million in stakes as of 2024. The Coolmore Classic is one of the richest female races held during the Sydney Autumn Carnival and is the only Group 1 race at the meeting.
Coolmore Classic Day features a host of Group 2 and 3 support races including the Group 3 Magic Night Stakes (1200m) and Group 3 Pago Pago Stakes (1200m), which are the final lead-ups for two-year-olds heading towards the iconic Group 1 $4.92 million Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m). The Group 2 Ajax Stakes (1500m) and Group 2 Phar Lap Stakes (1500m) are the other two Group 2 events on the program.
Key lead-up races into the Coolmore Classic field include the Group 2 Guy Walter Stakes (1400m) and the Group 2 Surround Stakes (1400m) both run in late February on Verry Elleegant Stakes Day. While many mares have won both the Guy Walter Stakes and Coolmore Classic, the last to do the double in the same year was Danni Martine (2005).
The best out of the Coolmore Classic may go on to run in upcoming autumn features such as the Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) and Group 1 Queen Of The Turf Stakes (1600m) held at Randwick over ‘The Championships’. In 2016 the Coolmore Classic runner-up Azkadellia went on to run third in the Doncaster and win the Queen Of the Turf Stakes.
The Coolmore Classic winner is in fact exempt from ballot for both the Doncaster and Queen Of The Turf races.
Con Te Partiro (2020) was the last mare to complete the Coolmore Classic – Queen Of The Turf Stakes (Coolmore Legacy Stakes) double.
The 2022 Coolmore Classic form was franked with that year’s Surround Stakes winner Hinged running third in the event before a next-up Vinery Stud Stakes second and fourth in the ATC Oaks. Hinged also returned in the spring and was third in both the George Main Stakes and Epsom Handicap.
The Coolmore Classic 2023 winner Espiona franked the form that spring winning the $2 million The Invitation race.
The 2024 Coolmore Classic took place on Saturday March 16, 2024 offering $1 million in prize money and was won in a late dive by the Chris Waller-trained favourite Zougotcha ($3.30F).

Betting on the Coolmore Classic heats up the week of the race with the latest markets to be made available for punters below courtesy of Ladbrokes.com.au. Coolmore Classic betting is often dominated by the best out of the Guy Walter Stakes along with any previous Group 1 winners that are in good autumn form.
Zougotcha ($3.30 in 2024) was the last favourite in Coolmore Classic betting to win.
Stay tuned for our insider Coolmore Classic 2024 Tips on the autumn Group 1 this season.
The Coolmore Classic boasts a stellar field this year, with numerous last-start winners vying for favour. However, the in-form Ciaron Maher-trained Semana is an enticing prospect. Riding a two-race winning streak, she boasts strong form lines. This four-year-old daughter of Winning Rupert emphatically claimed the Magic Millions Cup by two lengths in January, and the quality of this year’s Magic Millions races continues to shine through. Her most recent victory came in the Group 3 Triscay Stakes (1200m) while carrying a significant weight of 57.5kg. She steps up in distance again but receives a welcome weight reduction of 2kg. Semana is a serious contender with the potential to upset the field.
The Coolmore Classic field attracts the season’s best middle-distance fillies and mares and is released on the Wednesday before the race.
The official 2024 Coolmore Classic field and barriers will be released by Racing NSW on Wednesday March 13, 2024 and published in full below.
The Coolmore Classic 2024 final field features a quality line-up of in-form female gallopers including the Chris Waller-trained Zougotcha and last start Surround Stakes winning filly Tropical Squall.

This race has been known as many different names over its history including the Winfield Classic, Orlando Wines Classic, Rosemount Wines Classic, Marlboro Classic, NSW Thoroughbred Breeder’s Stakes and the Fillies & Mares Classic.
Miss Personality won the inaugural running in 1973 when it was a principal race. Not long after in 1980 it gained Group 2 status and was eventually installed as a Group 1 race in 1984.
The high status, stakes and handicap conditions of the Coolmore Stud Classic ensure the field is always full of classy and competitive females. Outstanding fillies and mares who have won the Coolmore Classic include Sunline (2000 & 2002) carrying 60kg, Tuesday Joy (2007), and Assertive Lass (1997).
In 2020 trainer Gai Waterhouse celebrated her record-equalling fifth Coolmore Classic victory with Con Te Partiro.
