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).

Celestial Legend (2024) was the last horse to complete the Hobartville Stakes – Randwick Guineas double. 

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.

In 2023 Zou Tiger ran second in the Hobartville and third in that year’s Randwick Guineas results.

In 2024 the Hobartville Stakes form was franked with Celestial Legend winning before completing that year’s Randwick Guineas – Doncaster Mile double!

In 2025 the Hobartville Stakes winner Broadsiding ran a next-up second in the Randwick Guineas before going one better for a Rosehill Guineas victory. The Hobartville form that year proved the one to follow into the three-year-old autumn majors with the runner-up Swiftfalcon also placing in the Randwick Guineas (3rd) and Rosehill Guineas (3rd). The Hobartville third placed filly Aeliana further franked the form that year running 4th in the Randwick Guineas, second in the Rosehill Guineas and then she won the Group 1 Australian Derby (2400m) beating home the boys by a runaway five lengths.

The Hobartville Stakes 2026 ran on Saturday February 21, 2026 at Rosehill Racecourse as a lead-up to the season’s Group 1 races for three-year-olds and was won in style by the Michael Freedman-trained favourite Ninja ($2.70F).

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), Anamoe (2022) in the famous Royal Blue silks of Godolphin, and subsequent Rosehill Guineas champ Broadsiding (2025).
