The Hobartville Stakes is a Group 2 set weights race for three-year-olds run during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival in late February or early March each year.

Held at Sydney’s Rosehill Gardens Racecourse the Hobartville Stakes runs alongside the Group 2 Silver Slipper Stakes (1100m) for Golden Slipper-bound two-year-olds and the Group 2 Millie Fox Stakes (1300m) for fillies and mares.

The Hobartville Stakes now worth a lucrative $400,000 in total prize money is the ideal lead up race to Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m) held a fortnight later. From 2013 – 2019 all seven Randwick Guineas winners were graduates out of the Hobartville Stakes, including four to do the double with Dissident (2014), Hallowed Crown (2015), Kementari (2018) and The Autumn Sun (2019).

As a set weights race over 1400m, colts and geldings must carry 56.5kg while fillies are required to carry 54.5kg in the Hobartville Stakes field.

Horses may run in the Hobartville Stakes first-up or come from an earlier autumn run in a race like the Group 3 Eskimo Prince Stakes (1200m) at the start of the month, a double last completed by Kementari (2018).

Osipenko (5th in 2023) was the last Hobartville Stakes winner to come off a run in the Eskimo Prince Stakes.

The 2022 Hobartville Stakes form was franked with the winner Anamoe running a next-up second in the Randwick Guineas before a win in the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) that autumn. Anamoe also returned in the spring for an outstanding campaign winning four Group 1 races on the trot including Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) at The Valley.

The Hobartville Stakes 2023 ran on Saturday February 18, 2023 and was won in an upset by Chris Waller’s Randwick Guineas-bound colt Osipenko ($8).

2023 Hobartville Stakes Results

• 1st: #4 Osipenko ($8)
• 2nd: #5 Zou Tiger
• 3rd: #6 Matcha Latte

Osipenko ($8) showed nice improvement at the 1400m second-up with Chris Waller’s Pierro colt improving on a lead-up fifth in the Eskimo Prince Stakes to get the bob of the head over Zou Tiger and win the Hobartville Stakes 2023 results on way to the Randwick Guineas. Aft Cabin meanwhile was disappointing finishing out of the money when the odds-on elect dropped out late.

2023 Hobartville Stakes Tips

Stay tuned for our insider Hobartville Stakes 2023 Tips on the important autumn lead-up this season.

• To Win: #5 Zou Tiger ($7 at time of publish) 

It will be no easy task for Zou Tiger to turn the tables on Saturday’s odds-on elect Aft Cabin after he was comprehensively beaten in the Eskimo Prince Stakes last time out, but for the value going to tip an upset and get behind him to do it! Chris Waller’s Zoustar colt presents fitter second-up and heads back to Rosehill for the first time since his brave third behind Jacquinot in the spring’s Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes. That form’s been franked with Jacquinot winning last Saturday’s Group 1 CF Orr in Melbourne on protest. Nice mid-field draw and think the 1400m will suit.

2023 Hobartville Stakes Field

The Hobartville Stakes field attracts a line-up of the autumn’s best middle-distance three-year-olds that are heading towards tougher races including the Randwick Guineas, Rosehill Guineas and even the Group 1 ATC Derby (2400m) during April’s ‘The Championships’.

Hobartville Stakes History

First won by Amounis in 1925, the Hobartville Stakes has a long history of winners which include great champions Lonhro and Shaftesbury Avenue. Originally a seven furlong race until 1972, the Hobartville Stakes became a 1400m event in 1973 and changed from a Principal race to a Group 2 event in 1979.

A host of notable three-year-olds have won the Hobartville Stakes in recent years including Racing To Win (2006), Pierro (2013), The Autumn Sun (2019) and Anamoe (2022) in the famous Royal Blue silks of Godolphin.
