Hobartville Stakes Form Guide
The Hobartville Stakes has proven a key form guide to follow for tougher Group 1 races during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival in recent years.
2013 Hobartville Stakes winner Pierro went on to win the Group 1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m) before his second in the Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m), while both Dissident (2014) and Hallowed Crown (2015) took out the Randwick Guineas for their respective seasons.
In 2023 the Hobartville Stakes was won by a son of the race’s 2013 winner Pierro, Osipenko.
The Hobartville Stakes form stacked-up in the Randwick Guineas from 2013 – 2019 with all seven winners of the Group 1 coming off the lead-up.
The latest Hobartville Stakes winner to take out the Randwick Guineas next start was The Autumn Sun in 2019 who also won the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m). Anamoe (2022) was the last horse to do the Hobartville Stakes – Rosehill Guineas double. He also finished second in that year’s Randwick Guineas in between.
The colts and geldings also have a far better Hobartville Stakes winning record than the fillies.
The Hobartville form in 2023 was franked with runner-up Zou Tiger rounding out the Randwick Guineas trifecta with a Group 1 third at his next start.
The 2025 Hobartville Stakes proved the standout form race of the autumn, with winner Broadsiding backing it up with a Randwick Guineas second before going one better in the Rosehill Guineas. The runner‑up Swiftfalcon also held his form, finishing third in both the Randwick and Rosehill Guineas. Even the third‑placed filly Aeliana kept the trend rolling, running fourth in the Randwick Guineas, second in the Rosehill Guineas, and then blowing them away in the Group 1 Australian Derby, putting a five‑length gap on the boys.
