The 2021 Sandown Stakes is a 1500m Group 3 event traditionally held at Sandown Racecourse – now Ladbrokes Park – in mid-November* on the Saturday after Mackinnon Stakes Day closes the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
*Note: The 2021 Sandown Stakes ran on Underwood Stakes Day on Saturday September 25, 2021 Ladbrokes Park Hillside.
Run under quality handicap conditions, the Sandown Stakes is open to all horses and pays $200,000 prize money as of 2021
The Sandown Stakes is traditionally held on Zipping Classic Day run at Ladbrokes Park. It is the biggest day of racing at Sandown Racecourse and also marks the end of spring group racing in Melbourne. Other races held on the same program include the Group 2 Zipping Classic (2400m), Group 2 Sandown Guineas (1600m), Group 3 Eclipse Stakes (1800m), Group 3 Summoned Stakes (1500m), Group 3 Kevin Heffernan Stakes (1300m) and three listed events, one of which is the 3200m Sandown Cup.
Horses typically target the Sandown Stakes towards the end of their spring campaign. Look to other handicaps held over similar distances for form leading into this race including the Sale Cup (1600m) held at the end of October. Gold Fields (2019) was the last horse to complete the Sale Cup – Sandown Stakes double.
Following the Sandown Stakes, many runners head to the paddock for a break before the autumn. Some choose to head west and compete in races at Ascot and Belmont Park in Perth.
The 2021 Sandown Stakes ran on Saturday September 25, 2021 as part of Underwood Stakes Day having been moved from Zipping Classic Day for the 2021 edition and was won by the favourite Elephant.

Inaugurated in 1981, the Sandown Stakes has a relatively brief history, but one that is filled with quality racing. It was initially known as the GJ Coles Stakes. It has also been known as the Coles New World Stakes.
Given Group 3 status in 1984, the Sandown Stakes has played an important role in Sandown racing.
Notable recent Sandown Stakes winners include Swick (2006), Pornichet (2014) and Redkirk Warrior who went on to win the following autumn’s Group 1 Newmarket Handicap (1200m) down the Flemington straight. Sandown Stakes results, winners and placegetters since 2000 are provided below.
