The Group 2 Skyline Stakes is a 1200m sprint for 2YO colts & geldings run at Royal Randwick on Chipping Norton Stakes Day in the autumn as a key lead-up to the Golden Slipper Stakes.
The Skyline Stakes is a Group 2 status races for two-year-old colts & geldings run at Royal Randwick Racecourse on Chipping Norton Stakes Day in late February or early March during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
Held under set weights conditions the 1200m sprint offers $200,000 in total prize money and offers the winner a ballot exemption for the upcoming Group 1 $5 million Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill Gardens the following month.
The meeting is headlined by the Group 1 Chipping Norton Stakes (1400m) and recently upgraded Group 1 Surround Stakes (1400m) for three-year-old fillies. There are a number of other Group status support acts on the card including the Skyline Stakes and the two-year-old fillies’ equivalent – the Group 2 Sweet Embrace Stakes (1200m).
Colts & geldings running in the Skyline Stakes field may have come off an earlier autumn run in a traditional lead-up including the Group 3 Canonbury Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill in late January or the Group 2 Silver Slipper Stakes (1100m) the week before.
After contesting the Skyline Stakes the Golden Slipper-bound youngsters may have another lead-up into the Group 1 in the Group 2 Todman Stakes (1200m) at Royal Randwick in early March. The last horse to win the Skyline Stakes – Golden Slipper Stakes double without a run in between was Dance Hero (2004).
More recently, the 2019 Skyline Stakes winner Microphone went on to run second in that year’s Golden Slipper Stakes before winning the Group 1 ATC Sires’ Produce (1400m) over more distance during ‘The Championships’.
In 2020 after scoring an upset on debut to win the Skyline Stakes, Mamaragan went on to run third in both the Golden Slipper and Inglis Sires’ trifecta results.
The form out of the 2021 Skyline Stakes was firmly franked with the runner-up Hilal going on to run second in both the Inglis’ Sires and Champagne Stakes that autumn, and later winning the Group 2 Stan Fox Stakes – $1 million Bondi Stakes double in the spring. Captivant meanwhile improved on his Skyline Stakes third that year to take out the Group 1 Champagne Stakes over the mile that April.
The Skyline Stakes 2022 ran on Saturday February 26, 2022 and was won in an upset by the David Atkins-trained Promitto ($14) on a Heavy (10) track.

It began as a Principal Race (1979) before upgrades to Listed (1980-86), Group 3 (1987-2012) and now its current Group 2 (2013 onwards) status.
