The Tobin Bronze Stakes – formerly run as the Eucalse Stakes – is a Group 2 feature race for three-year-olds held in early May on Robert Sangster Stakes Day during the Adelaide Autumn Racing Carnival.

Run over a sprint distance of 1200m, the set weights clash is the major support race on the Group 1 Morphettville meeting that is headlined by the Robert Sangster Stakes.

Worth $250,000 in total prize money as of 2024, the event is run by the South Australian Jockey Club (SAJC) and was inaugurated in 1981.

The Euclase Stakes field attracts both locally-trained and visiting interstate raiders chasing a share in the stakes, the race at one time worth half-a-million-dollars.

Runners may have earlier contested Sydney’s Group 2 Arrowfield 3YO Sprint (1200m) at Royal Randwick or the Group 3 PJ Bell Stakes (1200m) during ‘The Championships’. The traditional local lead-up is Morphettville’s Listed Redelva Stakes (1100m) run a fortnight before.

The 2022 Tobin Bronze Stakes form was franked with the winner Seradess going on to win the Group 3 Proud Miss Stakes at her next start.

The 2023 Tobin Bronze Stakes winner Royal Merchant franked the form with a next-up win in Adelaide’s Group 1 The Goodwood (1200m).

The Tobin Bronze Stakes 2024 ran on Saturday April 27, 2024 as part of Morphettville’s Robert Sangster Stakes Day card and was won in runaway fashion by the spring’s Group 1 Thousand Guineas third placed filly Skybird ($7).

Stay tuned for our insider Tobin Bronze Stakes 2024 Tips on the Group 2 Adelaide sprint this autumn.

  • To Win: #4 Sir Sway ($15 at time of publish) – BET NOW

While the favorite boasts impressive interstate form, Sir Sway offers an enticing each-way bet at a juicy 14/1 price. This local hope has a fantastic record at this track and has been steadily progressing through the grades. Trained in Naracoorte, the Sir Prancealot gelding is coming off a surprise victory in the Listed Redelva Stakes (1100m) here two weeks ago. Sure, it’s another step up in class, but he’s proven at the distance and has a good draw in barrier six. With a little luck, he can pull off another upset. Each-way value.

2024 Tobin Bronze Stakes Field

The Tobin Bronze Stakes field attracts a smart line-up of three-year-olds from Adelaide and interstate stables coming off a number of various lead-up races. Some of the runners may back-up on successive Saturdays going on to run in the Listed Adelaide Guineas (1600m) over the mile a week later.

The official Tobin Bronze Stakes 2024 Field & Barriers will be announced below the week of the race.

The 2024 Tobin Bronze Stakes final field is now out featuring a quality line-up of three-year-old sprinters led in betting by the Lindsay Park-trained Arkansaw Kid drawn wide but coming off a close fifth in the Group 2 $1 million Arrowfield Sprint in Sydney.

Euclase Stakes / Tobin Bronze Stakes History

The event has been known as a number of different race names over the years for sponsorship purposes and was officially registered as the Euclase Stakes from 1991 – 2021. The race’s original name was the Great Western Plate (1981 – 87) followed by the Carrington Blush Plate (1988 – 89), the Angus Brut Classic (1990-2000), the Yallambee Classic (2001-13).

The title Euclase came from the 1991 winner of the race of the same name. The first Euclase Stakes winner was Apollo’s Flame who won the race when it only held Listed status. The event was elevated to a Group 3 event from 1986 – 1990 before gaining its current Group 2 status in 1991 when the aforementioned Euclase took it out.

The most notable Euclase Stakes winner in recent years was Miracles Of Life (2014), winner of the previous year’s Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) in Melbourne.

The biggest recent upset Euclase Stakes result came in 2018 when $151 roughie I’ll Have A Bit saluted late.

The form out of the 2019 Euclase Stakes was franked the following year when the third placed Gytrash scored an upset win in Flemington’s Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning in 2020.

In 2021 the Euclase Stakes was renamed the Tobin Bronze Stakes and won by Beau Rossa.

In 2023 Royal Merchant became the latest runner to complete the Tobin Bronze Stakes – The Goodwood double.
