Ascot Vale Stakes
(Coolmore Stud Stakes)
The first Ascot Vale Stakes, a two year old event of set weights & penalties, was run over a distance of 5 furlongs at Flemington racecourse on Friday, Nov 20 1863.
The set weights were 8.7 for colts and 8.4 for fillies and geldings.
The first winner was Mr J. D. McHaffie’s Touchstone colt, Freestone
There was no running of The Ascot Vale Stakes in 1868 as the event was re-scheduled from the spring to the autumn.
In 1966 the VRC decided to discontinue the Ascot Vale Stakes, though they reversed this decision in 1969 reinstating the race as a spring three year old event with set weights & penalties to be run in September.
In 2006 the Ascot Vale Stakes was moved to the VRC Derby Day program and the following year it was renamed the Coolmore Stud Stakes and upgraded to Group1 status
Many great gallopers have won the Ascot Vale Stakes both in the two year old and three year old versions of the event.
Two year old winners like Newminster, Bobadil, Mollison, High Caste, Royal Gem & Comic Court and three year olds like Vain, Century, Surround, Taj Rossi, Manikato, Rancher & Campaign King.
The most successful trainer of winners of the Ascot Vale Stakes was the legendry James Scobie who saddled-up the winner on eleven occasions:
1900 Maltster – 1901 Hautvillers – 1903 Emir – 1905 Charles Stuart
1912 Wolawa – 1915 Two – 1916 Deneb – 1917 Thrice – 1921 Isa
1922 Rosina – 1926 Cyden
Not surprisingly, James Scobie’s number one rider, Bobby Lewis takes the riding honours with nine winners:
1901 Hautvillers – 1903 Emir – 1905 Charles Stuart – 1912 Wolawa
1915 Two – 1916 Deneb – 1917 Thrice – 1921 Isa – 1922 Rosina
Interesting to note that seven of the gallopers trained by Scobie and ridden by Lewis were owned by Mr. E E D (Ernest) Clarke and carried his famous light blue and pink livery.
They were Emir, Wolawa, Two, Deneb, Thrice, Isa & Rosina.
