The $1 million Concorde Stakes is a Group 3 sprint held at Royal Randwick Racecourse as a lead-up to The Everest race.
The Concorde Stakes is a Group 3 sprint held at Royal Randwick Racecourse in Sydney now worth a lucrative $1 million in stakes as of 2023.
Raced over a short distance of 1000 metres the Concorde Stakes is an exciting sprint that really tests the abilities of some of the more talented horses on the Sydney circuit.
Open to horses of both sexes aged three years and older the Concorde Stakes is run under set weights with penalties.
It is held on Chelmsford Stakes Day and shares the race card with three other Group races: the Chelmsford Stakes (1600m), Furious Stakes (1200m) and the Tramway Stakes (1400m).
Those horse who perform particularly well in the Concorde Stakes might go on to target the Group 2 The Shorts (1100m) back at the track a fortnight later. The Concorde Stakes is now also a gun lead-up to the world’s richest turf race – the $20 million The Everest (1200m) held back at the track in October.
Redzel won back-to-back editions of the Concorde Stakes in 2017 and 2018 ahead of his two historical wins in The Everest.
In 2018 Redzel made history as the first three-time Concorde Stakes winner.
The 2020 Concorde Stakes winner Gytrash backed-up to run third in that year’s The Everest trifecta before winning Rosehill’s Winners Stakes.
In 2021 the Concorde Stakes was won by Nature Strip at his third attempt. Nature Strip continued on to become the latest horse to complete the Concorde Stakes – The Everest double that spring.
Nature Strip further franked the form winning that year’s Group 1 VRC Sprint Classic at Flemington and returning the following autumn to win his third TJ Smith Stakes in 2022 ahead of a Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes win by 4.5 lengths at Royal Ascot in the UK.
The 2023 Concorde Stakes ran on Saturday September 2, 2023 as a lead-up to the $20 million The Everest, offered $1 million in stakes for the first time and was won in a fighting finish by the brave Remarque ($4.40) out wide for Team Hawkes.
