The Sandown Stakes is a Group 3 handicap that is currently held at Ladbrokes Park in late September or early October.
The 2023 Sandown Stakes is a 1500m Group 3 event traditionally held at Sandown Racecourse – now Ladbrokes Park.
It was previously run in mid-November on the Saturday after Champions Stakes Day closes the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
In 2021 the Sandown Stakes was moved to Underwood Stakes Day in late September. Underwood Stakes Day in 2021 was held on a Saturday, while in 2022 the meeting ran at Ladbrokes Hillside on the Sunday after Sydney’s Golden Rose Day.
For 2023 the Sandown Stakes took place on the first Sunday of October at its own standalone meeting at Ladbrokes Hillside the day after Sydney’s Epsom Handicap Day program at Randwick.
Run under quality handicap conditions, the Sandown Stakes is open to all horses and pays $200,000 prize money.
The Sandown Stakes was also previously held on Zipping Classic Day run at Ladbrokes Park. Zipping Classic Day is the biggest day of racing at Sandown Racecourse and also marks the end of spring group racing in Melbourne.
Before the event was moved to its current September timeslot, horses typically targeted the Sandown Stakes towards the end of their spring campaign. Looking to other handicaps held over similar distances for form leading into this race including the Sale Cup (1600m) held at the end of October. Gold Fields (2019) was the last horse to complete the Sale Cup – Sandown Stakes double.
Following the Sandown Stakes, many runners head to the paddock for a break before the autumn. Some choose to head west and compete in races at Ascot and Belmont Park in Perth.
In 2022 the Sandown Stakes was run in September and the form franked with the winner Gentleman Roy running a next-up fourth in the Group 1 Toorak Handicap (1600m) before a subsequent second the following February in the 2023 Group 1 CF Orr Stakes (1400m). Military Expert meanwhile ran second in the 2022 Sandown Stakes and third in the Toorak Handicap results.
The 2023 Ladbrokes Sandown Stakes ran on Sunday October 1, 2023 as the feature event on its own standalone meeting at Ladbrokes Park, Hillside and was won in style by Tony Gollan’s odds-on favourite from Queensland Antino ($1.35F).
