The $1.5 million Tancred Stakes is a weight-for-age Group 1 run over 2400m at Rosehill Gardens in March over the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival formerly known as The BMW.
The HE Tancred Stakes – formerly The BMW – is one of Australia’s richest weight-for-age events that is run as part of the esteemed Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival. Taking place the week before “The Championships” at Royal Randwick Racecourse traditionally run over the first two Saturdays in April, The BMW is one of two Group 1 races held on the day*. The other Group 1 event is the Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m) for three-year-old fillies.
*Note: The 2022 Tancred Stakes ran at Newcastle Racecourse the Monday after Rosehill’s abandoned Tancred Stakes Day meeting.
The HE Tancred Stakes is a staying event run over a distance of 2400m and is worth $1.5 million in prize money. Runners in the race may have previously contested other Melbourne & Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival events including the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) in March at the same track, which has been a good guide to the race formerly known as The BMW in recent years offering the winner a Tancred Stakes ballot exemption.
Horses to take out the Ranvet Stakes – Tancred Stakes double include Avilius (2019), Silent Achiever (2014), Manighar (2012), Tuesday Joy (2008), Eremein (2006) and Tie The Knot (2000). The Tancred Stakes attracts the finest competitors locally, interstate and from overseas as well with New Zealand raiders often having a strong presence in the race.
Another possible lead-up into the HE Tancred Stakes field is held at Flemington in Melbourne – the Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m). That double was recently achieved by Preferment (2016) who won the first leg on protest over Awesome Rock, while in 2017 The BMW winner Jameka backed-up from a second in the Australian Cup and Almandin improved on a fourth in the Australian Cup to win the 2018 Tancred Stakes.
In 2022 Edward Cummings’ outstanding mare Duais became the latest runner to complete the Australian Cup – Tancred Stakes double.
Quality horses who perform well in the Tancred Stakes often continue on to compete in some of the high status races held later in the year in spring both at the Sydney and Melbourne Spring Racing Carnivals.
Caulfield and Melbourne Cup runs can be on the agenda for the highest echelon stayers. Many elite gallopers have claimed victory in this race including Sir Dragonet (2021), Verry Elleegant (2020), Makybe Diva (2005), Ethereal (2002), Tie The Knot (1999 & 2000), Might And Power (1998), Octagonal (1996 & 1997) and Our Poetic Prince (1989).
The Tancred Stakes winner is exempt from ballot for the upcoming Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Sydney Cup.
In 2023 the Tancred Stakes ran on Saturday March 25th, 2023 and was won by Bjorn Baker’s last start Canberra Cup winner Arapaho ($14) at double figures.

Happy to stick with the narrow David Payne-trained favourite Montefilia to return to winning form third-up off her eye-catching second behind tearaway winner Dubai Honour in the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) here last weekend. She presents fit third-up on the quick back-up getting out over the mile and a half now for the first time since her excellent fourth when only a length beaten in the Caulfield Cup last October. She was found out over the two miles in the Melbourne Cup, but this is easier and her Rosehill strike-rate is good (5:2-1-1). It’s been a while between drinks with the now five-year-old daughter of Kermadec chasing her first win since last year’s Ranvet Stakes. She is going in the right direction however and looks to be hitting peak form for this.

First run in 1963, the inaugural HE Tancred Stakes race was won by Maidenhead. The event was originally a principal race run over 12 furlongs. For one year in 1964 the race was held over 10 furlongs, before reverting back to 12 furlongs the following year. In 1973 the distance was converted to 2400m and then in 1980 the BMW Stakes reached Group 1 status. This event has been known under a number of different names.
It is officially registered as the H E Tancred Stakes, In honour of the Sydney Turf Club’s former Chairman Henry Eugene Tancred, but was best known as The BMW from 2002 – 2017 due to sponsorship.
In 2022 the Tancred Stakes was moved from Rosehill on Saturday the 26th of March to Newcastle on Monday the 28th of March due to unsafe Heavy track conditions and rainfall.
