Railway Stakes (GR1)
2024 total prize money: $1,500,000
1st $822,000, 2nd $279,000, 3rd $132,000
The first running of the Railway Stakes took place at Ascot Racecourse in Perth on January 1 1887. Run over a distance of 1 ¼ miles, the handicap event was restricted to West Australian bred horses only and the inaugural running was won by Mr Alfred Dearden’s bay gelding, Sir Walter.
The restriction that saw the Railway Stakes contested by West Australian horses only was lifted in 1898.
In 1922 the distance was reduced to one mile and stayed at that distance until 1952 when it was reduced further to 7 ½ (1500m) furlongs. The distance changed again in 1983 when it was increased to its current distance, 1600m.
The Railway Stakes is run during the summer racing carnival, usually in the last week of December.
The timing of the race has often seen it carry-over to the first week of January the following year resulting in two Railway Stakes being run in the same calendar year, one in January and one in December.
To make this Blog easier to view, I have listed the races in chronological calendar order and where the years differ, I have included the actual race date in that year’s summary.
Only two horses have won the Railway Stakes on more than one occasion:
Tudor Mac 1966/67 and Luckygray 2011 & 2013
Training honours for the Railway Stakes are shared between five trainers who have each trained three winners:
Pat Ward: 1907 Man O’War – 1910 Artesian – 1914 Lilyveil
Paddy Connolly: 1913 Saturate – 1921 Fair Intervener
1923 Jolly Handsome
Herbert Holmes: 1910 Thigen Thu – 1914 Werenda – 1919 Accivity
Robert Burns: 1926 Cunningman – 1928 Columban – 1933 Earl Cunje
Ted McAuliffe: 1941 Hinda – 1942 Flame Lady – 1946 Thorium
The most successful rider title belongs solely to Frank Treen who has piloted the winner on four occasions
1951 Beau Temps – 1954 Maniana – 1966 Tudor Mak – 1970 Kilrickle
