The Roman Consul Stakes is a Group 2 spring held in Sydney as a lead-up to the Coolmore Stud Stakes during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
The Roman Consul Stakes is a Group 2 race held at Sydney’s Rosehill Gardens Racecourse (moved from Royal Randwick ahead of the 2023 edition) on a Saturday in early October. Raced over a 1200m distance, the set weights race is open to all three-year-old horses eager to take home a share of the $300,000 in prize money.
Previously held on Epsom Handicap Day, the Roman Consul Stakes now takes place on Hill Stakes Day with racing at the meeting headlined by the $2 million Group 2 Hill Stakes (1900m).
Those horses that perform well in the Roman Consul Stakes often go on to race in major events such as the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) run on Victoria Derby Day at Flemington during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
Brazen Beau (2014) was the last horse to complete the Roman Consul Stakes – Coolmore Stud Stakes double.
In 2020 the Roman Consul Stakes winner Wild Ruler ran third in that year’s Coolmore Stud Stakes and went on to claim the 2021 Group 1 Moir Stakes in Melbourne the following spring earning a slot in The Everest.
The 2021 Roman Consul Stakes form was franked with the winner Paulele returning in the autumn of 2022 to place third in the Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes behind Nature Strip. He also ran second in both the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 and Kingsford-Smith Cup that winter in Brisbane.
The 2022 Roman Consul Stakes winner Best Of Bordeaux franked the form with a next-up third in Melbourne’s Manikato Stakes results.
Each season the Roman Consul Stakes winner earns a ballot exemption for the following year’s Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) held at Randwick in April over the autumn.
The 2023 Roman Consul Stakes took place on Saturday October 7, 2023 as part of Rosehill’s Hill Stakes Day card and was won by the autumn’s Golden Slipper third placed colt King’s Gambit ($5) for Team Snowden.

Stay tuned for our insider Roman Consul Stakes 2023 Tips on the three-year-olds’ sprint showdown this spring.
Small but quality field of young sprinters, but sticking with the top elect to continue the flawless start to his career. The Bjorn Baker-trained Zoustar colt is well-bred and living up to his pedigree so far winning three-from-three ahead of his Group 2 test here. Proven at the track and was good fresh in his Black-Type debut to win the Listed Heritage Stakes (1100m). Over a length to spare on the line there so should run-out the six furlongs now with Rachel King – winning hoop aboard Just Fine in last weekend’s Group 1 The Metropolitan – retaining the ride.
Each year the Roman Consul Stakes field attracts a quality line-up of short-distance three-year-olds eyeing a run down south in the Coolmore Stud Stakes field over the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
Gallopers may come into the Roman Consul Stakes field via a number of different lead-ups including the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes a month earlier, which Exosphere (2015) won on way to his Roman Consul success.
