The Group 2 A.V. Kewney Stakes is held at Flemington Racecourse in March as a part of Newmarket Handicap Day. As the premier three-years-old fillies’ mile event of the season, the Kewney Stakes takes place on the same day as the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap (1200m) which is contested by a field of the season’s best sprinters.

Worth $300,000 in prize money, the set weights event is raced over a 1400m distance. The ideal lead-up races to the Kewney Stakes include the Group 3 Vanity Stakes (1200m) and the Group 2 Angus Armanasco Stakes (1400m). Zarita (2008) was the last filly to complete the Angus Armanasco Stakes – Kewney Stakes double.

The 2022 Kewney Stakes form was franked with the winner Barb Raider going on to run second in Adelaide’s Group 1 Australasian Oaks (2000m) and Brisbane’s Group 1 Queensland Oaks (2200m) that year.

The Kewney Stakes 2023 ran on Saturday March 11, 2023 on Newmarket Handicap Day and was won in terrific fashion by the Peter & Paul Snowden-trained Revolutionary Miss ($3.60).

2023 Kewney Stakes Tips

Stay tuned for our insider Kewney Stakes 2023 Tips on the Newmarket Handicap Day Group 2 event this autumn.

  • To Win: #5 Wollombi ($6 at time of publish)

Taking on the favourite and going for a touch of value in the airborne Wollombi for Team Snowden. This progressive daughter of Extreme Choice chases a fourth win on the trot. She’s getting better and living up the challenge each time out including her comprehensive Group 3 The Vanity win at headquarters over 1400m last time out. She is up in grade again for this, but looks like she’ll run the mile well and is proven at the track. Ticking plenty of boxes and doesn’t need to improve much on her latest to get the job done again.

2023 Kewney Stakes Field

The Kewney Stakes field attracts a nice line-up of quality Group performed three-year-old fillies coming out of earlier autumn lead-ups run under similar conditions including the Angus Armanasco Stakes on Blue Diamond Stakes Day. Fillies may even drop down in grade off a Group 1 start in a race like the Oakleigh Plate (1100m) as they rise in distance.

The official 2023 Kewney Stakes field and barriers are released on Wednesday March 8, 2023 and will be published in full below.

Kewney Stakes History

First won by Great Field in 1952, the A.V. Kewney Stakes has featured several superb fillies including 1999 winner Sunline from New Zealand. Sunline was the highest earning female racehorse of her time amassing over $11 million in prize money.

The Kewney Stakes was traditionally run over 2000m before being cut to a mile (1600m) from 1985 – 2009 and then the current 1400m distance from 2010 onwards. After kicking off as a Principle Race, the event gained Group 2 status in 1979 and took place at Caulfield Racecourse for one year in 2007 as Flemington underwent an upgrade.

Notable recent Kewney Stakes winners include Solicit (2014) and I Am A Star (2017).
