2025 Hall Mark Stakes Odds

The Hall Mark Stakes 2025 betting odds will be listed below as soon as markets on the end-of-April Group 3 event are released.

The Hall Mark Stakes is a Group 3 sprint race run and won over 1200m at Royal Randwick on All Aged Stakes Day in late April each Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.

The set weights plus penalties showdown is open to horses aged three-years-old and above and offers $250,000 in prize money as of 2024.

It is one key support acts on the end-of-autumn meeting that is headlined by the Group 1 All Aged Stakes (1400m) and Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m).

First held in 1978, the event is named in honour of great Sydney galloper Hall Mark who won races including the Doncaster Handicap, Australian Derby, Champagne Stakes, and Sires’ Produce between 1933 and 1936.

Run over a mile (1600m) for the opening edition, the race went up to 2000m from 1979 until coming back to its current distance of six furlongs (1200m) in 1980.

Having held Group 3 status since 2014, the Hall Mark Stakes has been won by a number of quality horses over the years including dual The Everest hero Redzel (2017) ahead of his first victory in the inaugural running of the world’s richest turf race that spring.

Hall Mark Stakes betting markets are led by in-form autumn sprinters looking to finish off their campaigns in Sydney with a Black-Type win before a possible trip to Brisbane over the winter.

Runners with previous experience in Group 3 or higher company that campaign and the proven six-furlong sprinters dominate the Hall Mark Stakes odds.

• To Win: #5 Mazu ($3.90 at time of publish) – BET NOW

Open field and happy to stick with the favourite Mazu who rates well here. Still a backable quote on offer for Joe Pride’s rails-drawn son of Maurice who has a strong 1200m strike rate (19:5-3-4). Comes off a fifth in the Group 3 Star Kingdom at Rosehill with 59.5kg. One of the few out of that race dropping weight with 58kg here. Gets the favours from the gate, handles Randwick’s roomy track well and has Jamie Melham coming aboard. Comes via a good form race and looks a genuine chance to improve and return to winning form for the punters.

The Hall Mark Stakes form has gone on to hold up in tougher grader races many times over the years including when the 2020 champion Trekking went on to perform at the highest level and win that year’s Stradbroke Handicap before a third in The Everest trifecta that spring.

Trekking also won the Group 1 The Goodwood (1200m) in Adelaide after running second in a failed Hall Mark Stakes title defence the following year and record many more Group 1 placings over his illustrious career for Godolphin.
