Victory Stakes News
The Group 2 Victory Stakes takes place in late April or early May during the annual Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival and is traditionally run at Eagle Farm Racecourse.
Run over the sprint distance of 1200m it is a weight-for-age event worth an increased $250,000 as of 2021 and was previously known as the Sir Byrne Hart Stakes.
Prize money for the 2020 Victory Stakes was down to $175,000 due to the COVID-19 pandemic with the race running as a set weights plus penalties event in May as part of a reduced Brisbane Winter Carnival.
The Victory Stakes is an excellent lead up to the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (1200m), another 1200m weight-for-age event run at Doomben. Quality runners may then progress onto both the Group 1 Kingsford-Smith Cup (1350m) in late May and Queensland’s richest race, the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap (1350m) in June.
The last horse to do the Victory Stakes – Stradbroke Handicap double in a single season was Srikandi (2015). In 2018 Impending won the Victory Stakes having taken on the previous year’s Stradbroke Handicap (2017).
The form of the 2021 Victory Stakes was franked with the runner-up Vega One winning the Kingsford-Smith Cup next start before a subsequent second in that winter’s Stradbroke Handicap quinella.
The Victory Stakes 2022 ran on Saturday April 30, 2022 and was won by the back-in-form Robert & Luke Price-trained Count De Rupee.

Victory Stakes History
The first horse to win the race then called the Sir Byrne Hart Stakes was Golden Rhapsody in 1980 when the race was inaugurated. Beginning as a Listed race the following year in 1981 it reached Group 3 status before being installed as a Group 2 event in 1992. First run over 1810m, the Sir Byrne Hart Stakes has gone through a number of distance changes throughout its history but is now a 1200m sprint at the Eagle Farm Racecourse for gallopers heading towards the Group 1 Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival features.
In recent years the Victory Stakes has been run at Doomben Racecourse (2016 & 2018) due to ongoing track issues at Eagle Farm.
In 2020 the Victory Stakes took place in May as a set weights plus penalties event due to COVID-19 and was the key Stradbroke lead-up that year.
