The Gloaming Stakes is a Group 3 event held at Randwick Racecourse on The Everest Day each Sydney Spring Racing Carnival as a lead-up to the Spring Champion Stakes and VRC Derby.
The Gloaming Stakes is a Group 3 race held at Randwick Racecourse during the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival in October.
The Gloaming Stakes is now held on The Everest Day which is headlined by the running of the world’s richest turf race – the $20 million The Everest (1200m).
Other key races on The Everest Day include the Group 1 $5 million King Charles III Stakes (1600m) which was formerly run as the George Main Stakes earlier in the spring, the $2 million The Kosciuszko slot race for country-trained horses, the $1 million Silver Eagle for Golden Eagle-bound four-year-olds and the lucrative Group 3 $2 million Sydney Stakes for horses that failed to gain a start in The Everest field.
The Gloaming Stakes is run under set weights conditions over 1800m and is only open to three-year-olds offering a lucrative $500,000 in total prize money.
Many of the more successful runners in the Gloaming Stakes go on to challenge the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m).
The Gloaming Stakes winner is exempt from Spring Champion Stakes ballot and the latest horses to complete the Gloaming – Spring Champion Stakes double are Shadow Hero (2019) and Sharp ‘N’ Smart (2022).
Often, horses will contend the Gloaming Stakes before heading south to target Flemington’s Group 1 Victoria Derby (2500m) during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
In 2017 Ace High took out the Gloaming Stakes – Spring Champion Stakes – VRC Derby treble.
In 2021 the Gloaming Stakes form was franked with the runner-up Profondo going on to win the Spring Champion Stakes next start.
After taking out the Gloaming Stakes and Spring Champion Stakes double in 2022 Sharp ‘N’ Smart further franked the form with a VRC Derby second. He returned to New Zealand in 2023 winning a further two Group 1 events including the NZ Derby and then ran a good fourth in Sydney’s Group 1 ATC Derby that autumn.
The 2023 Gloaming Stakes ran on Saturday October 14th, 2023 on Randwick’s The Everest Day program as a key lead-up to the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes and was won in a narrow upset by the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Raf Attack ($8.50).

Stay tuned for our insider Gloaming Stakes 2023 Tips on the three-year-olds’ showdown on The Everest Day this spring.
Plenty of winning hopes coming off good runs in this year’s Gloaming and have Snowman on top at a touch of value. The Chris Waller-trained Snitzel colt enjoyed his second career win at his sixth start last time out in a BM72 at Rosehill over 1800m. Up in grade now but same distance, which he blitzed with a two length success on September 27. Hugh Bowman is in town and comes aboard this up-and-comer who is likely to land midfield and charge home. Can win again.
The Gloaming Stakes 2023 field of final acceptances and barrier draw are released by Racing NSW on the Wednesday leading up to race day. Horses may come into the Gloaming Stakes field via earlier Group status Sydney Spring Racing Carnival races for three-year-olds or be stepping up in class for their first black-type test of the season.
The 2023 Gloaming Stakes final field features a quality line-up of Spring Champion Stakes-bound three-year-old led in betting by the James Cummings-trained Group 3 winner and Group 1 performed Tom Kitten coming off a string of good runs including form around Golden Rose runner-up Encap.

Inaugurated in 1978, the Gloaming Stakes has an extensive history of exciting racing and tight results. The Gloaming Stakes is named after Gloaming, who along with Desert Gold previously held the Australasian record of 19 successive wins. Out of 67 starts, Gloaming won 57 and came second 9 times.
The Gloaming Stakes has had a relatively stable history in terms of race location and status. Because of its set weights status and restriction to three year olds, the Gloaming Stakes has long held an important place in NSW racing as a major event to watch and a fertile breeding ground of young black-type winners.
Notable Gloaming Stakes winners include Sky Chase (1987), Tie The Knot (1997), So You Think (2009), It’s A Dundeel (2012), and that year’s Spring Champion Stakes / VRC Derby double winner Ace High (2017).
Gloaming Stakes results and winning times since 2000 are listed below.
The Gloaming Stakes was moved from Rosehill in September to Randwick in October ahead of the 2022 race and the prize money boosted to half-a-million-dollars.
The 2022 Gloaming Stakes was rescheduled to run over a mile at Warwick Farm on the Wednesday following its original race date after racing at Randwick on Silver Eagle Day was abandoned after Race 5.
In 2023 the Gloaming Stakes returned to The Everest Day card in mid-October over 1800m.
