The Eskimo Prince Stakes is a Group 3 race run in Sydney at Royal Randwick Racecourse (having previously been held at Warwick Farm) in early February as a lead-up to the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
Run over 1200m the set weights plus penalties sprint is open only to three-year-old horses and offers $200,000 in total prize money.
It is the sole Group status race on the card currently featuring on its own stand alone meeting. The Eskimo Prince Stakes may be the campaign starting point for the up-and-comers in the field.
A good next-up target for horses coming out of the Eskimo Prince Stakes field is the Group 2 Hobartville Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill Gardens. In 2016 Le Romain ran second in both the Eskimo Prince Stakes and Hobartville Stakes before his Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m) win that March.
The last horses to do the Eskimo Prince Stakes – Hobartville Stakes double meanwhile were Man From Uncle (2017) followed the next year by Kementari (2018) who also went on to win the Randwick Guineas.
In 2022 the Eskimo Prince third place-getter Converge went on to win the Randwick Guineas two starts later before a second in that season’s Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m).
The 2022 Eskimo Prince Stakes form was further franked with the winner Paulele running third in that April’s Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m). He also returned in the winter to run second in both the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (1200m) and Group 1 Kingsford-Smith Cup (1300m) in Brisbane before heading to Perth that November to win the Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes (1200m).
The Eskimo Prince Stakes 2023 ran on Saturday February 4, 2023 at Randwick Racecourse and was won in style by the resuming favourite Aft Cabin ($2.20F) from the Godolphin stable.

Stay tuned for our insider Eskimo Prince Stakes 2023 Tips on the Group 3 Randwick sprint this February.
- To Win: #8 Zou Tiger ($3.40 at time of publish)
Going the upset with the returning John O’Shea-trained Zoustar colt who was excellent last start when third in the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m) behind Jacquinot at Rosehill in September at 60/1. Maiden winner two back before that, and there were excuses when five lengths off Golden Mile running unplaced in the Ming Dynasty. Brought on fitness-wise ahead of his first-up run with two lead-up trials at Randwick on Soft going. Small field, loves Sydney, handled himself well from out wide in the Rose, and that form has been franked with Jacquinot winning his return in the Group 3 Manfred Stakes on Australia Day. Ticks plenty of boxes.

Eskimo Prince Stakes History
The Eskimo Prince Stakes has been run since its inception in 1984 and the inaugural winner was Run Ashore.
Since then a host of notable youngsters have won the race including Spark Of Life (2004), Snippetson (2005), El Roca (2014), Scissor Kick (2015) and Kementari (2018).
The race has been hosted at a number of various Sydney racecourses including Canterbury Park, Rosehill Gardens and Randwick Racecourse where the event returned in 2016 for the first time since 2012.
It now runs at Sydney’s Warwick Farm track. It started as a Listed race before gaining its current Group 3 status from 2014.
It has been run over a number of distances based on the race track. There was no 2020 Eskimo Prince Stakes due to a washed out Warwick Farm meeting with the race cancelled and not rescheduled.
