The Silver Shadow Stakes is a Group 2 event held at Royal Randwick Racecourse on Winx Stakes Day.
The Silver Shadow Stakes is a Group 2 event for new season three-year-old fillies held annually during August on Winx Stakes Day, which now hosts the opening Group 1 event of the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival.
Hosted at the prestigious Royal Randwick Racecourse, the Silver Shadow Stakes is one of the major opening events of the carnival for young fillies heading towards a run through the Princess Series of races that culminates with the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) on Epsom Day.
Run under set weights plus penalties conditions, the Silver Shadow Stakes offers $300,000 in total prize money as of 2023 and takes place over 1200m on Winx Stakes Day.
The Silver Shadow Stakes 2023 took place on Saturday August 19, 2023 at Royal Randwick Racecourse on Winx Stakes Day and was won in a narrow upset by the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Flight Stakes-bound Autumn Ballet ($16).

The Silver Shadow Stakes shares a program with the Group 1 Winx Stakes (1400m) – formerly the Warwick Stakes – and three Group 3 events: the Show County Quality (1200m), the Toy Show Quality (1300m) and the Premier’s Cup (2000m). The Silver Shadow Stakes is named in honour of the 1975 Warwick Stakes winner Silver Shadow.
Often fillies in the Silver Shadow Stakes field are resuming racing for the season. The Silver Shadow Stakes field usually attracts horses that had fairly decent two-year-old campaigns. Most entrants have a decent amount of black-type experience from their two-year-old season running in events including the Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) in the autumn.
Fillies that see success in the Silver Shadow Stakes results tend to push on to later races such as the Group 2 Furious Stakes (1200m) or the Group 2 Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) before stepping up to a mile in the Flight Stakes.
The 2018 Silver Shadow Stakes winner Fiesta ran second in Furious, Tea Rose and Flight Stakes, while the year before Formality completed the Silver Shadow – Furious Stakes double. The following year, Libertini also completed the Silver Shadow – Furious Stakes double before a third in the Tea Rose Stakes. She also went on to run third to the boys in Flemington’s Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes that Melbourne Cup Carnival.
In 2020 Dame Giselle completed the Silver Shadow – Furious – Tea Rose Stakes treble before running fourth in that year’s Flight Stakes results.
Zougotcha (2022) was the last filly to complete the Silver Shadow Stakes – Tea Rose Stakes double.
Zougotcha further franked the Silver Shadow Stakes form also going on to win that year’s Flight Stakes.
The Silver Shadow Stakes 2022 form also produced In Her Secret (2nd) who went on to win the Run To The Rose, finish second in the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes and then salute in Melbourne’s Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) at Flemington that spring. She would also return to headquarters in the autumn of 2023 and take out the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap (1200m).
Returning Black Opal Stakes winning filly Autumn Ballet ($16) was impressive late with a narrow first-up win in the 2023 Silver Shadow Stakes results with improvement to come with more distance as she targets the Group 1 Flight Stakes next month over the mile.

The Silver Shadow Stakes was inaugurated in 1980, with Moabite seizing the very first victory. Initially a Group 3 race, the Silver Shadow Stakes was upgraded to Group 2 in 1993. After enjoying more than a decade at the improved status, the race was reduced to Group 3 in 2005. For the 2013 edition, the Silver Shadow Stakes was again upgraded to Group 2, where it has remained since.
With the exception of 1989, the Silver Shadow Stakes has always been raced over 1200m. In 1989 the race distance was reduced to 1160m for one year. The Silver Shadow Stakes has a reputation for changing locations, and has been held variously at Warwick Farm Racecourse, Canterbury Park Racecourse and its current location Royal Randwick Racecourse over the years.

Horses that see success in the Silver Shadow Stakes have usually experienced it elsewhere. A solid two -year-old campaign is almost a prerequisite for entry to the Silver Shadow Stakes field, particularly since the grade and prize upgrade in 2014.
