All Aged Stakes Tips

All Aged Stakes tips favour proven Group 1 performers in Sydney coming off Autumn features like the Doncaster Mile a fortnight earlier at the track over 200m further or Melbourne’s Group 1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) held in February.

The Doncaster Mile – All Aged Stakes double hasn’t been achieved however since Sunline (2002). In 2021 the Doncaster Mile winner Cascadian ran a brave third in the All Aged Stakes results before returning in 2022 to atone for his Doncaster ninth to win the All Aged in an upset at 10/1.

Cascadian also ran in the 2023 All Aged Stakes as an eight-year-old trying to defend his title and was far from disgraced finishing third.

Sprinters stepping up from the 1200m of the TJ Smith Stakes during The Championships have a good recent record and make a nice All Aged Stakes tip.

All Aged Stakes Betting

Three-year-olds have a recent good strike rate with five of the nine winners from 2012 – 2026 with Giga Kick (2023) and Beiwacht (2026) the latest.

Mares have also more than held their own with eight wins since 2000 (most recently Magic Time in 2024) plus the filly Atlantic Jewel getting the job done of the boys in 2012 and English saluting as a three-year-old filly in 2016.

All Aged Stakes Form Guide

The All Aged Stakes form guide is a must to look over before betting as it gives punters all the essential information like the jockeys, trainers and barriers of the gallopers in the field.

Although barriers aren’t of all that much important at Randwick over 1400m the most successful All Aged Stakes barrier since 1983 producing 12 winners is gate seven, Trapeze Artist (7 of 10 in 2018) the most recent champ from the barrier.

That is followed closely by barrier one with seven winners, the latest to jump from the inside alley being Atlantic Jewel (2012) who is one of two fillies to win the race in the past 30 years along with English (2016) and Cascadian (2022).

Gai Waterhouse is the dominant All Aged Stakes winning trainer with five winners since 1997, the latest being Bentley Biscuit (2007) and English (2016).

Jim Cassidy is the most successful All Aged Stakes jockey in the past 30 years with four winners including dual champion Rough Habit (1992 – 1993). He also rode Waterhouse’s 2003 winner Arlington Road and the 2015 champion Dissident.

The 2022 All Aged Stakes third placegetter Ellsberg franked the form returning that spring to win the Group 1 Epsom Handicap (1600m), the $1 million Five Diamond Prelude (1500m) and the inaugural $2 million The Five Diamonds (1800m).

The All Aged Stakes 2023 winner Giga Kick franked the form winning Brisbane’s Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (1200m) at his next start.

The 2025 All Aged Stakes proved to be a serious form race, with winner Jimmysstar returning in the spring to run third in The Everest before claiming both the $3 million Russell Balding Stakes and the Group 1 CF Orr. Runner‑up Joliestar also franked the form in style, picking up multiple wins including the Group 1 Kingsford‑Smith Cup in Brisbane, while third‑placed Sunshine In Paris went straight on to elite‑level success of her own, taking out the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 at her very next start.

Jimmysstar returned to defend his title in 2026 but ultimately ran third to Beiwacht.
