The Sydney Stakes is a lucrative $500,000 Group 3 sprint held on The Everest Day at Royal Randwick in Sydney during mid-October.
There is now a battle for the punters’ attention that takes place on The Everest date with Sydney hosting the world’s richest turf race supported by the likes of the Sydney Stakes on the same day Melbourne’s Caulfield Cup Day meeting is held.
There are only 12 slots up for grabs in the $15 million The Everest field and the Sydney Stakes, upgraded to a Group 3 event for the first time in 2018, offers a nice consolation prize for sprinters that did not secure a start in the feature race of the day.
Contested over the same distance (1200m) as The Everest race, the Sydney Stakes is a weight-for-age event that has a field capacity of 18 starters.
The Sydney Stakes also serves as a nice lead-up into the $1 million Winners Stakes – a race renamed each year in honour of the previous season’s The Everest winner. In 2019 the event was known as the Redzel Stakes and saw the Sydney Stakes winner Deprive run fourth.
The 2020 Sydney Stakes ran on Saturday October 17, 2020 as part of The Everest Day line-up at Randwick and was won by the Kim Waugh-trained Trumbull.

2020 Sydney Stakes History
The Sydney Stakes was first run in 1968 as a Principal race called City Tattersall’s Lightning Handicap. The sprint was upgraded to a Listed Black-Type race in 1978 before becoming a Group 3 feature in 2018.
In 2017 the race was renamed as the Sydney Stakes and with a notable increase in prize money became targeted as an event for sprinters that did not make The Everest field on the same day.
Originally run over 1000m then 1100m, the Sydney Stakes distance was also increased to 1200m in 2017.
A number of quality racehorses have won the event including Shogun Lodge (2003), dual winner Famous Seamus (2012-13), Group 1 winning mare In Her Time (2017) and Pierata (2018).
