The TJ Smith Stakes is a Group 1 race held towards the end of the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival on Day 1 of ‘The Championships’ at Royal Randwick*. A 1200m sprint, the TJ Smith Stakes is a weight-for-age event worth a lucrative $3 million in prize money as of 2023.

*In 2021 the TJ Smith Stakes ran on the second Saturday of April with all race meetings of the autumn in Sydney from Slipper Day onwards postponed a week due to the weather.

For the 2020 edition, the TJ Smith Stakes prizemoney was reduced to $1.25 million to help reduce the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but was back up to $2.5 million again in 2021 before being boosted to $3 million ahead of the 2023 edition.

This race should not be confused with former The TJ Smith, a Group 1 race run in June during the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival for two-year-olds, now called the JJ Atkins.

The TJ Smith Stakes takes place on Doncaster Mile Day alongside three other Group 1 races with the running of the $4 million Doncaster Mile (1600m), $2 million Australian Derby (2400m) and $1 million ATC Sires Produce Stakes (1400m).

The 2019/20 Australian Racehorse of the Year Nature Strip enjoyed back-to-back wins when successfully defending his title in the 2021 TJ Smith Stakes ahead of his $15 million The Everest win that spring in the world’s richest turf race.

In 2022 Nature Strip emulating Chautauqua (2015-17) becoming the second three-time TJ Smith Stakes winner with a runaway three and a half-length win.

The 2022 TJ Smith Stakes form was franked with Nature Strip heading overseas to win England’s Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes by over four lengths at Royal Ascot next start.

Nature Strip returned as favourite in the 2023 TJ Smith Stakes looking to make history, but only managed to run fourth behind Peter Moody’s last-to-first champion I Wish I Win.

The $3 million 2023 TJ Smith Stakes ran on Saturday April 1, 2023 and was won in emphatic fashion by Peter Moody’s Golden Eagle champ from the spring I Wish I Win ($9). 

TJ Smith Stakes 2023
Date:	Saturday April 1, 2023
Track:	Randwick Racecourse
Distance:	1200m
Conditions:	Weight-for-age
Status:	Group 1
Prize Money:	$3,000,000
Inaugurated:	1997

Because of the position of the TJ Smith Stakes towards the end of the autumn carnival, punters have a range of lead-up races to gauge the fitness and form of the runners before placing their TJ Smith bets.

Good preparation races include the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap (1200m) run in Melbourne the month before as well as the Group 1 The Galaxy (1100m) at Rosehill Gardens a fortnight earlier. The last horse to complete the Newmarket Handicap – TJ Smith Stakes interstate double was Lankan Rupee (2014).

The subsequent two TJ Smith Stakes winners following Lankan Rupee also came off a lead-up run in the Newmarket Handicap with back-to-back champion Chautauqua running 2nd in 2015 and 3rd in 2016. Chautauqua made TJ Smith Stakes history in 2017 when successfully defending his dual titles to become the first three-time winner of the sprint classic.

In 2023 I Wish I Win won the TJ Smith Stakes in Sydney off a lead-up third in the Newmarket Handicap results.

Horses may finish up their autumn campaign in Sydney by running in the Group 1 All Aged Stakes (1400m) held two weeks after the TJ Smith Stakes is run and won.

Recent All Aged Stakes winners to come off a TJ Smith Stakes start include English (3rd in 2016), Hay List (2nd in 2011) and Hot Danish (2nd in 2010).

The latest sprinters to complete the double were Bentley Biscuit (2007) and Shamekha (2005) both trained by Gai Waterhouse before Trapeze Artist won the TJ Smith Stakes – All Aged Stakes double in 2018.

• The Favourite: #10 Giga Kick ($4 at time of publish) 

The money is solid for the Clayton Douglas-trained three-year-old Giga Kick who returns to the track and trip of his $15 million The Everest success last spring. He’s accounted for plenty of these sprinters before and gets the chance to do so again second-up off a nice return running third in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes (1000m). He will relish the extra furlong here, is fitter for the run and gets a charmed run from barrier nine with Zac Purton coming aboard for the ride. Natural improvement now, Purton will have him closer in the run and he should prove a hard to beat favourite.

• The Danger: #6  I Wish I Win ($9.50 at time of publish) 

Great price on offer for Peter Moody’s class four-year-old who is third-up and set to peak here in a great edition of the TJ. He is yet to race at Randwick, but is proven the Sydney way defeating Fangirl at Rosehill in the $10 million The Golden Eagle (1500m) last prep. Moody has him set as a sprinter now opting to bypass The All-Star Mile for this. Two runs in two very nice sprint races in Melbourne for two placings already this prep. Fresh he was a quarter-length off Coolangatta in the Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning (1000m) showing he wouldn’t find these distances too sharp. Second-up third in the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap (1200m) also run down the straight 1.2 lengths off In Secret (who also travels to Sydney on Saturday for this). Carted 56.5kg there and is up to 58.5kg at WFA with a wide alley, but still think with improvement to come he’s a danger at a backable price.

• Best Roughie: #13 Passive Aggressive ($15 at time of publish)

So many horses in good form to consider, but at the price Passive Aggressive could be a standout for value forgotten by the punters. Grahame Begg’s four-year-old Fastnet Rock mare was a narrow winner off a lengthy let-up defeating a few of these including the favourite Giga Kick in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes (1000m). This is tougher up to 1200m without another run in between, but she goes best kept fresh and will get a charmed run from barrier six. Same weight. She is two-from-three at the six furlongs and being so lightly raced cannot be discounted.

TJ Smith Stakes History

The TJ Smith Stakes is one of the youngest Sydney races, first run in 1997. Mahogany won the inaugural race, which was then called the Endeavour Stakes and only held listed status. The following year in 1998, the race was renamed in honour of the renowned trainer Tommy Smith and also received Group 3 status. The event worked its way up quickly, elevated to Group 2 status in 2003 and only two years later in 2005 gained Group 1 status.

A host of champion sprinters have won the TJ Smith Stakes over the years including Black Caviar (2011 and 2013), triple hero Chautauqua (2015-17) and the Chris Waller-trained star Nature Strip (2020, 2021, 2022) who emulated the ‘Grey Flash’ as the event’s second three-time winner.

A new TJ Smith Stakes record was set in 2018 by the three-year-old winner Trapeze Artist who flew home in 1 minute 8.29 seconds, surpassing the previous best time in the event from Black Caviar in 2011.

Black Caviar’s trainer Peter Moody would return over a decade later and win the 2023 edition of the TJ Smith Stakes with I Wish I Win.
