Ladbrokes Tip: Up And Coming Stakes graduates may head towards that spring’s Golden Rose Stakes

The 2021 Up And Coming Stakes moved from Randwick to Kembla Grange due to COVID-19, before the event changed race cards the next year to run on San Domenico Stakes.

A quality handicap race, the Up And Coming Stakes takes place over a middle sprint distance of 1300m and offers $250,000 in total prize money. Previously held on Winx Stakes Day a week later, in 2020 the event was moved to mid-August and was the sole Group race on its own feature race meeting before being added to the late August Rosehill race card in 2022.

It now takes place alongside the Group 3 $250,000 San Domenico Stakes (1100m).

As the name suggests, the Up And Coming Stakes serves as a key launch pad for good three-year-olds and has been won by many greats of the turf and stud including Exceed And Excel (2003), Fastnet Rock (2004) and Snitzel (2005) who all went on to become great sires.

Inaugurated in 1980, the race began as a six-furlong sprint (1200m) before changing to its current 1300m distance in 2011. It now serves as a strong lead-up into the Group 1 $1 million Golden Rose Stakes (1400m) held later in the spring and Manawanui (2011) was the last horse to do the double.

The next edition of the Up And Coming Stakes runs on Saturday, August 31, 2024 at Rosehill Gardens as part of the San Domenico Stakes Day card.
