The Percy Sykes Stakes is a lucrative Group 2 race for two-year-old fillies run on Day 2 of Sydney’s ‘The Championships’ on the second Saturday of April* annually.
*In 2021 the Percy Sykes Stakes ran on the third Saturday of April with all race meetings of the autumn in Sydney from Slipper Day onwards postponed a week due to the weather.
The meeting is also known as Queen Elizabeth Stakes Day and features four Group 1 races including the $5 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) and $2 million Sydney Cup (3200m) for stayers.
Contested over 1200m at Royal Randwick Racecourse the Percy Sykes Stakes is run under set weights plus penalties and is now worth $1 million in total prize money and was upgraded to Group 2 status for the first time in 2017.
The 2020 edition of the Percy Sykes Stakes was worth a reduced $500,000 due to the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on Australian racing before being boosted to $1,000,000 in 2021.
Fillies may come into the Percy Sykes Stakes field via a run in the world’s richest race for juveniles – the Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) – or the Group 2 Magic Night Stakes (1200m) earlier during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival or be dropping in grade off a run in the Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m).
Away Game (2020) was the last Golden Slipper graduate (2nd) to win the Percy Sykes Stakes next race.
The 2023 Percy Sykes Stakes took place on Saturday April 8, 2023 on Day 2 of Sydney’s ‘The Championships’ and was won in dominant fashion by the Annabel Neasham-trained Kristilli ($19) at just her second career start.

2023 Percy Sykes Stakes Tips
Stay tuned for our insider Percy Sykes Stakes 2023 Tips on the million-dollar two-year-old’s feature this autumn.
- To Win: #3 Autumn Ballet ($3 at time of publish)
Always a tough race for the punters on Day 2 of The Championships with little form to consider, but happy to stick with the progressive young favourite from the Waterhouse/Bott stable. She’s bred by a champion being a daughter of The Autumn Sun and caught the eye on debut winning Canberra’s Group 3 Black Opal Stakes last month by two lengths. The form out of the Black Opal often stacks up in the 2YO Sydney races each autumn and that should be the case here. Has the benefit of a recent Rosehill trial, Tim Clark stays on, and gets the inside run from barrier one.
2023 Percy Sykes Stakes Field
The Percy Sykes Stakes field attracts a smart field of young fillies usually dropping down in grade off a run in the Golden Slipper field. The race has a capacity of fourteen starters plus four emergencies, but rarely does the Percy Sykes Stakes field run at capacity.
The official 2023 Percy Sykes Stakes field is out the Tuesday leading-up to the race following the early Percy Sykes Stakes Nominations taken in February and the Percy Sykes Stakes First Acceptances in March about four weeks out from the April event.
Ten two-year-old fillies make-up the Percy Sykes Stakes 2023 final field with markets led by the rails-drawn Autumn Ballet from the Waterhouse/Bott stable coming off a winning debut in Canberra’s Group 3 Black Opal Stakes.

Percy Sykes Stakes History
The Percy Sykes Stakes was first run back in 1960 as the Keith Mackay Handicap and was won by Primrose Lane. It started out as a non-black type race and gained its now Group 2 race status for the first time in 2017. The event is still officially registered as the Keith Mackay Handicap despite it not being raced under handicap conditions, in honour of the former AJC Chairman Keith Mackay.
For one year in 2014 the race was known as the Royal Randwick Stakes and added to the ATC Championships series of races enjoying a notable boost in prize money. The current race name – Percy Sykes Stakes – is in honour of esteemed veterinarian Percy Sykes who passed away in 2014. He is best known for his work with legendary trainers including Bart Cummings, Gai Waterhouse and her father TJ Smith – whom the TJ Smith Stakes is named after.
Keith Mackay Handicap / Percy Sykes Stakes Winners
During the early stages of Percy Sykes Stakes history the race didn’t hold a huge amount of prestige and attracted a mediocre class of fillies.
As it increased in status and prize money the Percy Sykes Stakes winners have also improved with notable champions of the event including Streama (2011), Eloping (2014), Missrock (2016), Shoals (2017) who went on to defeat the older mares during Melbourne Cup Carnival in the Group 1 Myer Classic (1600m) and the brilliant Away Game (2020).
