The Widden Stakes is a Group 3 race that will take place at Rosehill Racecourse in Sydney each autumn leading up to the Golden Slipper Stakes.
The Widden Stakes is Group 3 race run at Rosehill Gardens in late January or early February during the end of the summer and start of the famous Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
The 1100m sprint is open to two-year-old fillies and is run at set weights plus penalties. The Widden Stakes is a key support race on Expressway Stakes Day. The meeting is headlined by the Group 2 Expressway Stakes (1200m) and also features the Group 3 Canonbury Stakes (1100m), which is the colts & geldings’ equivalent of the Widden Stakes.
Fillies that run in the Widden Stakes field may be kicking off their careers first-up, or have run in the spring before in something like the Gimcrack Stakes (1100m) held at Randwick in September / October. The Widden Stakes can serve as a lead-up into the world’s richest race for two-year-olds – the Group 1 $3.5 million Golden Slipper (1200m) run back at Rosehill Racecourse in March.
In 2020 the Magic Millions 2YO Classic winning filly Away Game took out the Widden Stakes and went on to run fourth in that year’s Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes in Melbourne and second in the Golden Slipper results.
The only fillies to date to complete the Widden Stakes – Golden Slipper Stakes double are Overreach (2013) and Mossfun (2014).
The 2021 Widden Stakes ran on Saturday January 30, 2021 at Rosehill Gardens and was won by Gimcrack Stakes runner-up Mallory.

The Widden Stakes is named after Widden Stud, home to some of the country’s premier stallions and sires. It was inaugurated in 1943 as a 1000m Principal Race. It has been run over its current 1100m distance during 2005-07 and since 2009 onwards. The event gained Listed status in 1979 – 2013 before being upgraded to a Group 3 autumn feature from 2014.
There have been three racecourses to host the Widden Stakes – Randwick, Rosehill Gardens and Warwick Farm.
Plenty of notable fillies have won the event and some of the best Widden Stakes winners in recent years include Triscay (1989), Dynasty (1993), Satin Shoes (2011), subsequent Golden Slipper winner Overreach (2013), Mossfun (2014), Fiesta (2018) and that year’s Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Away Game (2020).
In 2020 Away Game became the first filly in over 20 years to carry more than 56.5kg to victory in the Widden Stakes.
