The 2020 Up And Coming Stakes is a Group 3 race for potential Golden Rose Stakes horses held at Royal Randwick Racecourse in mid-August.
The Up And Coming Stakes is a Group 3 event held at Royal Randwick Racecourse in Sydney during August each year. Previously held as part of the Winx Stakes Day program, in 2020 the event was moved forward a week to run as the feature event on its own race meeting in mid-August.
Offering $160,000 in total prize money, the Up And Coming Stakes is a nice early Sydney Spring Racing Carnival lead-up for youngsters heading towards tougher runs.
Raced over 1300m, the Up And Coming Stakes is open only to three year old horses and is run under quality handicap conditions. Prior to 2014, the race was restricted to colts and geldings only and ran under set weights plus penalties conditions, essentially acting as a complementing race to the Toy Show Quality, which is restricted to fillies and mares.
Horses that compete in the Up And Coming Stakes could be kicking off their spring preps or be coming off a lead-up run in a winter event at Rosehill.
Later events that horses out of the Up And Coming Stakes field could go on to contest include the Group 2 Stan Fox Stakes (1500m) in early September.
It has also proved a decent guide to the following month’s $1 million Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m) in recent years.
The Up And Coming Stakes 2020 ran on Saturday August 15, 2020 and saw the odds-on favourite North Pacific ($1.85) relishing the wet conditions for a five length win.

Inaugurated in 1979, with Spear taking out the first edition, the Up And Coming Stakes has a storied history of quality sprinting. Originally a competition strictly for colts and geldings, as of 2014 the Up And Coming Stakes has been open to both sexes. However, in the past it was an exciting competition of male horses competing for supremacy and provided fantastic form insight as to how horses perform against their stronger peers.
Named after famed Warwick Stakes winner Up And Coming (1959), the Up And Coming Stakes has a long association with the Warwick Stakes. Originally raced over 1200m, the distance was dropped for a year in 1989 to 1160m. Between 1990 and 2010 it was again 1200m. In 2011, the race began to be run over 1300m.
In 1979 the race was classified as listed, and retained that status for exactly 1 year. The Up And Coming Stakes was a Group 3 event between 1980 and 1992 prior to an upgrade to Group 2. This upgrade lasted from 1993 to 2004, then in 2005 the race ran as a Group 3 event. It returned to Group 2 for one year in 2013, but in 2014 was ran as a Group 3 event.
The race venue has changed regularly between Warwick Farm, where it was originally held, and Royal Randwick and Canterbury Park racecourses.
Notable Up And Coming Stakes winners include Royal Troubador (1984), Mahogany (1993), General Nediym (1997), Exceed And Excel (2003), Court Command (2006) and Manawanui (2011). Up And Coming Stakes results since 2000 are listed below.
