Coolmore Stud Stakes History

The Coolmore Stud Stakes is a Group 1 event run at set weights for three-year-olds run over 1200 metres at Flemington during the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.

The race, which carries prizemoney of $1.5 million, is run down the straight course which is commonly referred to as the ‘straight six’, being six furlongs in the old measures.

Prior to 2007, the race was known as the Ascot Vale Stakes until the status of the race was upgraded to a Group 1 event and was renamed the Coolmore Stud Stakes.

Traditionally, the race attracts top quality three-year-old sprinters which boosts the attraction on Derby Day.

The Coolmore Stud Stakes is one of four Group 1s to feature on the Derby Day program.

Winners of the Coolmore Stud Stakes often go on to compete in other elite sprint races during the year, while some of the unplaced brigade have come good during the autumn.

The race has a very attractive honour roll with winners including Merchant Navy (2017), Flying Artie (2016), Japonisme (2015), Brazen Beau (2014), Sepoy (2011), Weekend Hussler (2007) and Gold Edition (2006).

Former greats of the past who won this race include Our Maizcay (1995), Zedative (1987), Rancher (1982), Manikato (1978), Surround (1976) and Vain in 1969.

As the race name suggests, the race has recently attracted potential stallions as it carries a high stud value to the winner. However, this has not distracted the fillies from success in the race with victory going to Nechita (2012), Headway (2009), Gold Edition (2006) and Alinghi in 2004.

FLEMINGTON RACECOURSE

Flemington first opened in 1840 and was known originally known as Melbourne Racecourse. The original approach road to the racecourse passed through a property owned by James Watson.

He named his property Flemington after his wife’s hometown of Flemington in Morayshire, Scotland and it is believed that this is how the racecourse’s name was first introduced.

Since then, the track has become the centre-point of Australian thoroughbred horse racing. It was added to the Australian National Heritage list in November 2006 and the site is also listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.

The land in which Flemington racecourse now stands was owned by Robert Fleming who intended to use the area for farming cattle and sheep, along with running a butchery in the early 1800’s.

In 1864, the Victoria Racing Club was introduced to Flemington and up until 2001 acted as the principal authority responsible for managing the racing at the track and across Victoria, Australia.

Flemington hosts a total of 14 Group 1s throughout the Australian racing year, headed by the Melbourne Cup and Victoria Derby in the Spring Carnival in October and November.

The Melbourne Cup has been the centrepiece throughout the history of Flemington Racecourse. The two-mile handicap contest is the richest in the Australian racing calendar and routinely draws hundred of thousands of racegoers to the course each November.

Since its first running in 1861, the Melbourne Cup has produced a vast variety of longing memories at Flemington, both on and off of the track. The blend of over 100,000 attendees and world class thoroughbred racing adds further gloss to Flemington’s already rich history.

In 1875, the Melbourne Cup was awarded public holiday status due to the demand for Australian citizens to witness the unparalleled experience that the raceday provides.

FLEMINGTON TRACK DESCRIPTION

Flemington racecourse boasts a large pear shaped course with a circumference of 2,400 metres. It also has a straight six-furlong home-straight known as ‘The Straight Six’ which hosts many of Australia’s most valuable sprint contests including the Darley Classic.

Racing at Flemington is run in an anticlockwise direction making it a left-handed track with a long, sweeping final turn before the straight.

The track itself underwent a number of improvements during the early 21st century, including a new $45 million grandstand which opened in 2000.
