Not be confused with the VRC Carbine Club Stakes held in the spring, the event runs alongside a bumper autumn racing line-up in Sydney including the Doncaster Mile and TJ Smith Stakes.

Run at set weights plus penalties, it offers $250,000 in prize money and was first conducted in 1981 but did not gain Group 3 status until 2011.

The race is named in honour of former champion thoroughbred from the 19th century Carbine whose victories included the 1890 Melbourne Cup and back-to-back wins in the Sydney Cup (1889-1890).

The latest edition of the Carbine Club Stakes (ATC) ran on Saturday April 6, 2024 on Day 1 of ‘The Championships’ at Randwick and was won by the Michael Freedman-trained Trapeze Artist colt Ducasse ($6).

• To Win: #15 Pasima ($21 at time of publish) – BET NOW

Open race and think there’s plenty of value to be had in Pasima in top form and at 20/1 at time of publish. Ciaron Maher-trained and well-bred being a progressive son of Pierro. This colt is full of confidence now having broken his maiden status at start number six last time out. Won over the mile at Warwick Farm narrowly on March 6 with 60.5kg. Has had a month between runs so still fresh and is right back in weight to 56kg. Jason Collett retains the ride. This is a tougher grade but think he’s up to it and can surprise a few.
