Champagne Stakes History
The two-year-old set-weights race takes place one week after Day 2 of The Championships is held at Royal Randwick and is one of two Group 1 features on the day with the other being the All Aged Stakes (1400m).
Exeter, who was trained by Etienne de Mestre, won the inaugural Champagne Stakes in 1861 when the race was run over five furlongs (1000m).
Although the race has endured eight distance changes throughout its history, it was traditionally run as a sprint race until the inception of the Golden Slipper in 1957 caused a clash between the two feature sprint races.
In 1972 the race distance was raised to its current 1600m and became part of the two-year-old Triple Crown which includes the Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m), Inglis Sires’ (1400m) and Champagne Stakes.
Six two-year-olds have claimed the two-year-old Triple Crown. They are Baguette (1970), Luskin Star (1977), Tierce (1991), Burst (1992), Dance Hero (2004) and Pierro (2012).
With $500,000 in prizemoney, the Champagne Stakes is a natural progression for Golden Slipper and Inglis Sires’ runners that can run a mile or further.
The Group 1 Inglis Sires’ (1400m) held at Royal Randwick Racecourse two weeks earlier is the most reliable guide to the Champagne Stakes.
Winners of the Champagne Stakes have generally run their grand final for the season but in the spring, possible targets are the Caulfield and Thousand Guineas, or for the more adventurous trainer with a good horse, the Cox Plate.
Notable winners of the Champagne Stakes include Robinson Crusoe (1876), Chester (1877), Heroic (1924), Ajax (1937), Flight (1943), Todman (1957), Noholme (1959), Sky High (1960), Storm Queen (1966), Vain (1969), Baguette (1970), Luskin Star (1977), Rose Of Kingston (1981), Red Anchor (1984), Tierce (1991), Burst (1992), Dance Hero (2004), Samantha Miss (2008), Helmet (2011), Pierro (2012) and Prized Icon (2016).
