The Reisling Stakes – previously known as the Reisling Slipper Trial, is a 1200m sprint race held at Sydney’s Randwick Racecourse on Randwick Guineas Day during the autumn.

Contested by two year old fillies only, the set weights race requires the young racing hopefuls to carry 55.5kg. Worth $300,000 in prize money, the Group 2 race is a great lead up race to the Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) with the winner of the Reisling Stakes winner exempt from ballot for the $5 million event.

The equivalent race for colts and geldings is the Group 2 Todman Stakes (1200m) run at the same race meeting that his headlined by the $1 million Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m) and $600,000 Group 1 Canterbury Stakes (1300m).

The Magic Night Stakes (1200m) held a week later at Rosehill is another option for the Reisling Stakes graduates on way to the Golden Slipper.

Recent fillies to complete the Reisling Stakes – Golden Slipper double include Estijaab (2018), Overreach (2013) and Polar Express (2003). In 2017 the Reisling Stakes winner Frolic ran second in the Golden Slipper Stakes, won by the Reisling Stakes runner-up She Will Reign who further franked the form.

The Reisling Stakes 2023 for fillies ran on Saturday March 4, 2023 as a key lead-up into the Group 1 Golden Slipper and was won by the undefeated odds-on favourite Learning To Fly ($1.65F).

2023 Reisling Stakes Tips

Stay tuned for our exclusive Reisling Stakes 2023 Tips on the Slipper lead-up for fillies this autumn.

  • To Win: #1 Learning To Fly ($1.70 at time of publish) 

She’s odds-on but it is hard to find something that stops Annabel Neasham’s flying Justify filly Learning To Fly from making it three-from-three. She was good on debut winning the Group 3 Widden Stakes at Rosehill before her $2 million Inglis Millennium success here at Randwick. Bypassed the Blue Diamond Stakes in Melbourne and now presents a big chance at a Group 2. The Inglis Millennium form held last weekend with the runner-up Blanc De Blanc running third in the Group 2 Sweet Embrace Stakes. Only five rivals on the weekend. Just three have previous race experience and she’s beaten them all. Should do so again.
