Coolmore Stud Stakes Tips
Coolmore Stud Stakes tips are usually headed by the favourites with the short priced three-year-olds in the markets boasting a solid strike rate over the past decade. A wide barrier hasn’t been a hindrance so including those in double figure gates if the field is that big in your tips can add value.
Sydney trainer Chris Waller has a strong record and his in-form three-year-olds make a good Coolmore Stud Stakes betting tip, as do the best out of lead-up races including the Roman Consul Stakes in Sydney or the Schillaci Stakes in Melbourne. Waller prepared his fifth Coolmore Stud Stakes winner in nine years with Home Affairs in 2021.
2025 Coolmore Stud Stakes Tips
Our Ladbrokes’ insider Coolmore Stud Stakes 2025 tips and Group 1 Melbourne Cup Carnival betting selections on the $2 million feature will be detailed below the week of the race so stay tuned for the three-year-olds to back and sack in this season’s Coolmore Stud Stakes results.
To Win: No. 3 Tentyris
TENTYRIS (5) has firmed into $4 favouritism at time of publish to win the Coolmore and I’m happy to follow the money on this talented Anthony & Sam Freedman trained young gun.
He’s drawn a dream in gate five and Mark Zahra, who I think could be in for a huge Derby Day, sticks in the saddle riding the progressive Street Boss colt for the third time this prep.
Tentyris resumed here in the Group 2 Danehill Stakes and finished third to Mcgaw fresh at the track he returns to fitter third-up on the weekend.
Was a little all over the place in that but more than made up for it next-up.
Carted 58.5kg to victory at Caulfield beating Raging Force by a half-length in the Listed Gothic Stakes (1200m) having come from well back to charge home from the turn to produce some blistering late sectionals.
Gets another go down the straight over the six furlongs back to set weights with 57kg and I think he’ll be ready to fly down it this time without drifting.
Has Group 1 ability proven by his Blue Diamond second placing by the barest of margins in the autumn at a huge price, and he has gone to another level as a three-year-old.
Fit, firing, full of confidence, and wouldn’t need much natural improvement to get the job done.
Wins.

Coolmore Stud Stakes Barrier Draw 2025
The 2025 Coolmore Stud Stakes final field and barriers are announced on Wednesday, October 29. Barrier draws are extremely important for the Coolmore Stud Stakes, as it’s run down the Flemington straight.
Depending on how the track is playing, some runners prefer drawing wide down the straight, as it allows them to get into clear air. Occasionally, the field will split on the inside and outside rail, which makes for an exciting finish.
Coolmore Stud Stakes Barrier Statistics
Middle-to-wide draws have been best for the Coolmore Stud Stakes. Barriers 8 and 9 have recorded six winners since 1983, and that’s because they can choose which side of the track to come down.
Barriers 5 is the next best with five wins, and barriers 11 and 12 have three wins. The statistics show you would rather draw in the middle for the Coolmore Stud Stakes, so follow runners with barriers 5, 6, 8, and 9.
Barrier 5 is the latest Coolmore Stud Stakes winning barrier with Tentyris (2025).
