The Canonbury Stakes is a Group 3 race for two-year-old colts & geldings run at Rosehill Gardens in late January or early February as part of the Expressway Stakes Day line-up.

The meeting is held at the very start of the prestigious Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival and is headlined by the weight-for-age Group 2 Expressway Stakes (1200m). The Canonbury Stakes is a set weights plus penalties sprint contested over 1100m. It is open only to male two-year-old runners and is accompanied on the card by the fillies’ equivalent – the Group 3 Widden Stakes (1100m).

Many of the youngsters in the Canonbury Stakes field are on debut, while some may have had an earlier run in a summer race in Sydney or even over the previous spring carnival season. After the race a likely next-up option is the Group 2 Todman Stakes (1200m) at Randwick in early March. Both races are key lead-ups to the famous $3.5 million Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) run at Rosehill in March.

The horses to complete the Canonbury Stakes – Golden Slipper double are Fine And Dandy (1958), Sebring (2007) and Vancouver (2015).

Other Canonbury Stakes graduates may head south to Melbourne over the autumn for a shot at the Group 1 $1.5 million Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m), which the 2017 Canonbury Stakes winner Pariah finished runner-up in.

The Canonbury Stakes 2021 runs on Saturday January 30, 2021 at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse.

Canonbury Stakes History

The Canonbury Stakes has been run and won since 1930 when Lightning March took out the inaugural running. The race originated as a five furlong (1000m) event holding Principal status at Randwick, where it was run up until 2003 and again from 2008 – 2011. It has been run over the 1100m distance from 2004 – 2006 and from 2009 onwards. Rosehill held the event from 2004 – 2006 and from 2013 until the present. In 2014 the race gained Listed status before it was elevated to a Group 3 feature in 2015.

The race is named in honour of Canonbury, a house built near Sydney’s Darling Point in 1911. The Australian Jockey Club (AJC) – now the Australian Turf Club (ATC) – has owned Canonbury house since the death of its builder in 1919.

Notable Canonbury Stakes winners include Tulloch (1956), Shogun Lodge (1998), Not A Single Doubt (2003), Sebring (2008), Hinchinbrook (2010) and Vancouver (2015).
