The Robert Sangster Stakes is one of only four Group 1 races held in South Australia at Morphettville Racecourse as part of the esteemed Adelaide Autumn Racing Carnival.

Conducted by the South Australia Jockey Club (SAJC) the other Group 1 races run in Adelaide are the Australasian Oaks (2000m) also held on Robert Sangster Stakes Day, The Goodwood (1200m), and the South Australian Derby (2500m).

The Robert Sangster Stakes is the elite fillies and mares’ event of the carnival and is run under weight-for-age conditions. Raced over a sprint distance of 1200m the event is now worth $1 million in prize money as of 2024.

The contending females may have just contested the Group 3 RN Irwin Stakes (1100m) previous month at the Morphettville track, so keep an eye on the dominant fillies and mares in this other weight-for-age event. Driefontein (2014) was the last mare to do the RN Irwin Stakes – Robert Sangster Stakes double.

As the premier fillies and mares’ race in Adelaide, the event attracts all the best local gallopers and quite often an impressive interstate female will make the trip and claim victory in the Robert Sangster.

The most famous Robert Sangster Stakes winner was the world’s highest-rated mare Black Caviar who took out the 2012 edition in her Adelaide debut.

In 2021 the Robert Sangster Stakes form was franked with the winner Instant Celebrity going on to run second next-up in that year’s The Goodwood results. Platelet (2013) and Black Caviar (2012) both completed the Robert Sangster Stakes – The Goodwood double.

The 2022 Robert Sangster Stakes form was franked with the winner Snapdancer heading to Brisbane for a next-up second in the Group 1 Tattersall’s Tiara (1400m) before winning the Group 1 Memsie Stakes (1400m) in Melbourne that spring.

In 2023 Another Award ran second in both the Robert Sangster and The Goodwood, while Zapateo ran third in both events before heading to Sydney the following autumn to claim the Group 1 The Galaxy (1100m) in 2024.

The 2024 Robert Sangster Stakes form was franked with the third placed Benedetta going on to win that year’s The Galaxy while the Robert Sangster winner Climbing Star ran third in The Goodwood trifecta.

The 2025 Robert Sangster winner Charm Stone went on to frank the form winning the Group 1 Manikato Stakes at The Valley that September.

Robert Sangster Stakes History

The Robert Sangster is one of the younger Australian thoroughbred races, first run in 1983 when Ranee’s Palace claimed victory.

The race distance has remained the same from the inaugural race, but the status and race name have seen a number of changes.

It began as a special race but became a listed race the next year in 1934. Two years later it gained Group 3 status until 2004 when it was installed as a Group 2 event. The following year in 2005 it became a prestigious Group 1 event.

Originally registered and known as the Swettenham Stud Stakes, the race was renamed when it received Group 1 status as the Robert Sangster Stakes in honour of the legendary owner and breeder Robert Sangster who passed away the year before in 2004.

The Robert Sangster Stakes record was set by Dantelah in 1999 with a time of 1:07.9.
