Silver Shadow Stakes News
The Silver Shadow Stakes is a Group 2 event for new season three-year-old fillies held annually during August on Winx Stakes Day, which now hosts the opening Group 1 event of the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival. Hosted at the prestigious Royal Randwick Racecourse, the Silver Shadow Stakes is one of the major opening events of the carnival for young fillies heading towards a run through the Princess Series of races that culminates with the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) on Epsom Day.
Run under set weights plus penalties conditions, the Silver Shadow Stakes offers $200,000 in total prize money and takes place over 1200m.
The Silver Shadow Stakes 2019 took place on Saturday August 24, 2019 at Royal Randwick Racecourse and was won by impressive odds-on favourite Libertini.

| Distance: | 1200m |
| Conditions: | 3YO Fillies SWP |

The Silver Shadow Stakes shares a program with the Group 1 Winx Stakes (1400m) – formerly the Warwick Stakes – and three Group 3 events: the Show County Quality (1200m), the Toy Show Quality (1300m) and the Up and Coming Stakes (1300m). The Silver Shadow Stakes is named in honour of the 1975 Warwick Stakes winner Silver Shadow.
Often fillies in the Silver Shadow Stakes field are resuming racing for the season. The Silver Shadow Stakes field usually attracts horses that had fairly decent two-year-old campaigns. Most entrants have a decent amount of black-type experience from their two-year-old season running in events including the Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) in the autumn.
Fillies that see success in the Silver Shadow Stakes results tend to push on to later races such as the Group 2 Furious Stakes (1200m) or the Group 2 Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) before stepping up to a mile in the Flight Stakes.
The 2018 Silver Shadow Stakes winner Fiesta ran second in Furious, Tea Rose and Flight Stakes, while the year before Formality completed the Silver Shadow – Furious Stakes double.

2019 Silver Shadow Stakes Field
The official Silver Shadow Stakes 2019 final field and barriers are released by Racing NSW on the Wednesday leading-up to Winx Stakes Day and will be published in full below.
The 2019 Silver Shadow Stakes Field attracted 10 final acceptances including the Anthony Cummings-trained Libertini who looked excellent in her exhibition gallop at the Randwick track last Saturday. Trainer Chris Waller has two runners including Lucicello out wide in gate nine coming off a third to Dawn Passage in the Listed The Rosebud.
Update: Trainer Chris Waller has opted to scratch Lucicello (9) from the Silver Shadow Stakes field running The Rosebud placegetter up against the boys in the Group 3 Up & Coming Stakes instead. Waller later made the call to also withdraw his other runner Catwalk (7) from the line-up. The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Mistress Mouse (6) is the third filly scratched from the race leaving just seven hopefuls.

Silver Shadow Stakes History
The Silver Shadow Stakes was inaugurated in 1980, with Moabite seizing the very first victory. Initially a Group 3 race, the Silver Shadow Stakes was upgraded to Group 2 in 1993. After enjoying more than a decade at the improved status, the race was reduced to Group 3 in 2005. For the 2013 edition, the Silver Shadow Stakes was again upgraded to Group 2, where it has remained since.
With the exception of 1989, the Silver Shadow Stakes has always been raced over 1200m. In 1989 the race distance was reduced to 1160m for one year. The Silver Shadow Stakes has a reputation for changing locations, and has been held variously at Warwick Farm Racecourse, Canterbury Park Racecourse and its current location Royal Randwick Racecourse over the years.
Silver Shadow Stakes Location
| Period | Location |
|---|---|
| 1980-92 | Warwick Farm |
| 1993 | Royal Randwick |
| 1994-99 | Warwick Farm |
| 2000 | Canterbury Park |
| 2001-04 | Warwick Farm |
| 2005-06 | Royal Randwick |
| 2008 | Warwick Farm |
| 2009 | Royal Randwick |
| 2010-13 | Warwick Farm |
| 2014 – onwards | Royal Randwick |
Horses that see success in the Silver Shadow Stakes have usually experienced it elsewhere. A solid two -year-old campaign is almost a prerequisite for entry to the Silver Shadow Stakes field, particularly since the grade and prize upgrade in 2014.
Notable winners of the Silver Shadow Stakes include Startling Lass (1988), Angst (1993), Ha Ha (2001), Gold Edition (2006), Samantha Miss (2008), Formality (2017) and Fiesta (2018). Silver Shadow Stakes results since 2000 are below.
