Ted Van Heemst Stakes News


Held annually in late December as a key lead-up to the Perth Cup, the Ted Van Heemst Stakes is a 2100m staying event at Ascot Racecourse formerly known as the C.B. Cox Stakes before being renamed in 2016.

Worth $300,000 in prize money as of 2023, the Group 2 event attracts good staying horses that are suited to the weight-for-age conditions. The Ted Van Heemst Stakes is the ideal lead-up race to the Group 2 Perth Cup (2400m) held around a fortnight later either on New Year’s Eve or the first week of the New Year at the end of the Perth Summer Racing Carnival.

The 2021 Ted Van Heemst Stakes form was franked with the runner-up Platoon running a next-up third in the Perth Cup trifecta.

The Ted Van Heemst Stakes 2023 form was franked in the subsequent Perth Cup 2024 results with Casino Seventeen improving on a third in the Ted Van Heemst to win the New Year’s Day classic.

The 2023 Ted Van Heemst winner Numerian meanwhile ran fourth in the Perth Cup at his next start.

2024 Ted Van Heemst Stakes Field

The Ted Van Heemst / CB Cox Stakes field traditionally features the best locally trained stayers targeting the popular Perth Cup.

Horses in the Ted Van Heemst Stakes field come out of summer lead-up races including the Group 1 Northerly Stakes (1800m) – formerly the Kingston Town Classic – in early December or the previous Saturday’s Group 3 A.J. Scahill Stakes (1400m) over a notably shorter distance.

In 2019, Regal Power completed the Group 1 Railway Stakes – Ted Van Heemst Stakes double. Truly Great took out the Kingston Town Classic – Ted Van Heemst Stakes double in 2020 before Regal Power did the same in 2021.

Ted Van Heemst / CB Cox Stakes History

Inaugurated in 1914 as the Grandstand Plate, the Ted Van Heemst Stakes was renamed in 2016 in honour of Western Australian Racing Hall of Famer Ted Van Heemst and was previously known as the CB Cox Stakes from 1920-2015.

The race was previously contested over 2400m, but was reduced in 2009 after the Perth Cup distance was also cut from a traditional two-mile cup distance (3200m) to the mile and a half (2400m).

The Ted Van Heemst Stakes has held Group 2 status since 1979 and has been won by a number of notable stayers including Eurythmic (1920) who went on to win a host of interstate Group 1 races including the Caulfield Cup (1920), that year’s Melbourne Cup winner Piping Lane (1972), the reigning Cox Plate champion at the time Battle Heights (1974) and more recently Delicacy (2015) who won the following January’s Perth Cup.

The 2019 Ted Van Heemst Stakes winner Regal Power went on to win the following year’s $5 million The All-Star Mile in Melbourne. Regal Power also returned to complete the Kingston Town Classic – Ted Van Heemst Stakes double in 2021.
