Ladbrokes Tip: The Gloaming Stakes winner may press onto the Spring Champion Stakes
The Gloaming Stakes is a Group 3 set weights race for three-year-olds run at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse on a Saturday in late September during the annual Sydney Spring Racing Carnival.
Contested at the same meeting as the $1 million Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m) and the $400,000 Group 2 Golden Pendant (1400m), the race is contested over 1800m and offers $200,000 in total prize money. There’s a number of other Group status races on the program including the Group 3 Colin Stephen Quality (2400m) for The Metropolitan-bound stayers.
Graduates may go on to run in tougher Sydney and Melbourne races over the spring carnival and the Gloaming Stakes winner is exempt from ballot for the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m).
Shadow Hero (2019) was the last horse to complete the Gloaming Stakes – Spring Champion Stakes double.
The Gloaming Stakes was first run in 1978 and is named after star galloper Gloaming who won 19 straight races, a then Australasian racing record he co-held with Desert Gold.
There’s also a potential for the Gloaming Stakes graduates to take on the older horses in the iconic Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) run at Moonee Valley in October. In 2009 So You Think completed the Gloaming Stakes – Cox Plate double as a three-year-old and returned as a four-year-old in 2010 to claim his second Cox Plate trophy.
The latest edition of the Gloaming Stakes took place on Saturday September 25th, 2021 and was won by Head Of State for Chris Waller.

Tipping the Chris Waller-trained colt to post his first Black-Type win here. Steadily improving with each run this time in and looks fit and ready to fire. Narrowly beaten last start in a Benchmark 72 and think he’s been crying out for further.
