The Heath 1100 Stakes 2021

Ladbrokes Tip: The Heath 1100 Stakes can serve as a potential The Everest lead-up in the spring.

The Heath 1100 Stakes is a Group 3 short distance sprint race conducted at Melbourne’s Caulfield Racecourse as part of Memsie Stakes Day each August.

The opening Group 1 race meeting in Victoria for the annual Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival, Memsie Stakes Day is host to not only the Group 1 Memsie Stakes (1400m) but an additional three other Group races with the running of the: Cockram Stakes, HDF McNeil Stakes and The Heath 1100 Stakes.

Contested over 1100m at set weights plus penalties, The Heath 1100 Stakes is open to horses aged four-years-old and above and offers $200,000 in prize money.

The race now also serves as a potential lead-up into Sydney’s $15 million The Everest (1200m), the world’s richest turf race held at Royal Randwick in October. The inaugural and dual The Everest champion Redzel (2017-18) is the most famous The Heath 1100 Stakes winner in history having won the 2016 edition.

If not The Everest race, The Heath 1100 Stakes graduates may stay in Melbourne and contest The Valley’s Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m) on Cox Plate Eve. Samaready (2013) was the last horse to do The Heath 1100 Stakes – Moir Stakes double.

The latest edition of The Heath 1100 Stakes took place on Saturday August 28th, 2021 and was won by The Everest-bound favourite Masked Crusader.

No value on resuming Group 1 William Reid Stakes winner and TJ Smith Stakes runner-up from the autumn Masked Crusader who is odds-on first-up, but it’s a small Group 3 field and he’s in a grade of his own compared to these rivals. There’s a few that might run a cheeky race with fitness edge and no weight, but even with 60kg from barrier 10 of 11, can’t see this confirmed The Everest horse beaten.
