The Winterbottom Stakes runs at Ascot Racecourse during the Perth Summer Racing Carnival.
The Group 1 2021 Winterbottom Stakes is 1200m sprint held in late November or early December annually at Ascot Racecourse in Perth. Run under weight-for-age conditions, the contenders aged three-years-old and up compete for the lucrative prize purse of $1 million.
The event is conducted on Day 2 of the major Perth Summer Racing Carnival in Western Australia, which also features the Group 1 Railway Stakes (1600m) the weekend before and the Group 1 Kingston Town Classic (1800m) the following Saturday.
As the premier sprint event in Perth, entries are generally handy local sprinters and the Group 3 Colonel Reeves Stakes (1200m) at the same track and distance a fortnight earlier is a key lead-up.
With the race growing in prize money and prestige, interstate raiders are more commonly making the trip over to WA to take on the locals in the Winterbottom Stakes field with Melbourne races producing seven of the Winterbottom Stakes winners from 2011-2021 most recently Viddora (2017) who improved on a lead-up fourth in the Group 1 Ladbrokes Manikato Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley, Voodoo Lad (2018) who ran eighth in the Manikato before winning that year’s Winterbottom and comeback galloper Hey Doc (2019) who finished third in Sandown’s Group 3 Kevin Heffernan Stakes.
Runners that do well in the Winterbottom Stakes may stay on for other weight-for-age events in Perth including the Group 3 AJ Sachill Stakes (1400m) a fortnight later.
The 2021 Winterbottom Stakes ran on Saturday November 27, 2021 and was won in an upset by Graceful Girl ($9).

The Winterbottom Stakes nominations are taken in early October by Perth Racing over a month out from the race and typically attract over 50 sprinters.
The 2021 Winterbottom Stakes nominations feature 66 sprinters led in early betting by last year’s upset winner Elite Street who recently won the Group 3 Prince Of Wales Stakes and runner-up in that same lead-up Stageman.
The Winterbottom Stakes began as a principal race run over seven furlongs and was first run in 1952 when Raconteur claimed victory. In 1973 the race distance was converted to 1400m and the event gained Group 2 status in 1979. The length was decreased to its current 1200m sprint distance in 1993.
A number of high quality horses have claimed victory in the Winterbottom Stakes including Buffering (2013 & 2015), Ortensia (2009-11), Takeover Target (2008) and Miss Andretti (2005).
Since 2011 the Winterbottom Stakes has run as a Group 1 feature, having achieved elite level status.
