The Cockram Stakes – officially the W.W. Cockram Stakes is a Group 3 race for mares held at Caulfield Racecourse in late August or early September annually on Memsie Stakes Day.
The day is the opening Group 1 meeting of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival and also features the Group 1 Memsie Stakes, Group 3 H.D.F. McNeil Stakes and the Group 3 The Heath 1100 for potential The Everest horses.
Now offering $200,000 in prize money the Cockram Stakes was first run in 1992 and the 1200m sprint race is contested at set weights plus penalties.
Many quality female gallopers have won the Cockram Stakes over the years including Mid Summer Music (2011), Pippie (2019) who went on to win the following year’s Group 1 Oakleigh Plate – Moir Stakes double, Perfect Jewel (2020), and Probabeel (2021) who was a three-time Group 1 winner at the time of her victory and who went on to win another elite level in that year’s Caulfield Stakes.

Cockram Stakes Betting
Cockram Stakes betting is led by quality mares kicking off their spring campaigns that have a strong first-up record. Any proven Group performers, especially past Group 1 runners down in grade, sit high up the markets as do those mares with a good Caulfield track record.
Pippie ($2.05 in 2019), Probabeel ($1.95 in 2021) and Magic Time ($3.90 in 2025) are the latest favourites in the Cockram Stakes odds to salute for the punters.
Cockram Stakes Field
The Cockram Stakes race field attracts a quality line-up of mares many of which may be having their first start as four-year-olds on the back of their final campaigns as fillies in the autumn / winter.
The best mares out of the Cockram Stakes field will continue on to target tougher races over the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival including Flemington’s Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m). The Group 2 Stocks Stakes (1600m) at The Valley in late September is also a popular target for Cockram Stakes runners although no mare has done the double. The 2020 Cockram Stakes winner Perfect Jewel came close running second in the Stocks Stakes results that year.
The Group 3 How Now Stakes (1200m) run at Caulfield in September is another good next-up option for Cockram Stakes graduates and Savanna Amour (2017) was the last mare to do the double.
The Cockram Stakes final acceptances are released on the Wednesday before the race runs on a Saturday and the nominations close that Monday.
2025 Cockram Stakes Field
The official Cockram Stakes 2025 field and barriers will be published in full below once final acceptances are taken by Racing Victoria on the Wednesday of race week.
The Cockram Stakes 2025 final field features a bumper line-up of 15 female gallopers including Grahame Begg’s two-time Group 1 winner Magic Time, Stuart Gandy’s consistent Geegees Mistruth up from Tasmania, and the Mark Walker trained Kiwi raider Damask Rose drawn the rails who won the inaugural The Kiwi slot race defeating Evaporate across the Tasman back in March.

- To Win: #8 Damask Rose ($7.50 at time of publish) – BET NOW
What an absolutely stand out edition of the Cockram Stakes! Honestly, just about any mare in this field could win without surprise but I like the credentials and value of the Kiwi raider DAMASK ROSE (1) who gets her chance down under to make it a hat-trick. Mark Walker’s consistent daughter of Savabeel makes her four-year-old debut in the Group 3 having got a charmed run to deny a very good horse in Evaporate and win the inaugural The Kiwi slot race back home last start. She put 1.5 lengths on him over the 1500m and is deserving of a shot at Australian riches now. Two Australian jumpouts since her arrival in Oz have her acclimatised and ready to go. Barrier one and Blake Shinn, who has ridden her in her three latest across the Tasman, is booked again. Will be more mature, is proven against nice types and think she’ll win this and maybe something bigger over the spring.
