AJC Champagne Stakes

Click Here to go back to Index


 AJC Champagne Stakes (GR1)
                                  2024 total prize money: $1,000,000 
                        1st $580,000, 2nd $190,000, 3rd $96,000


 The Champagne Stakes was first run in 1861 over five furlongs at Randwick racecourse as part of the AJC’s autumn racing carnival. The race was won by Mr. Etienne De Mestre’s 2yo chestnut colt, Exeter.

The following year the distance was increased to 1 mile before being changed again in 1865 to a shorter distance of 7 furlongs. Another distance change in 1867 saw the Champagne Stakes shortened to 5 furlongs where it remained until a further distance change in 1881 saw the race increased to 6 furlongs.
The distance would not change again until 1972.

In 1887 the AJC changed the conditions of the Champagne Stakes to include penalties of up to 10lb for entrants that had previously won Stakes races. This ruling was abandoned in 1972 when set weights of 8.10 for colts & geldings and 8.3 for fillies, without penalties was adopted.

The introduction of the Golden Slipper in 1957 meant that there were now two major autumn two year old races over 6 furlongs. These two races, along with the Sires Produce Stakes (7F) became the two year old “Triple Crown” adding interest and prestige to the autumn carnival.

In 1972, the Champagne Stakes was increased to 1 mile, thus providing a measured progression of distances within the “Triple Crown” series – Golden Slipper (6f) – Sires Produce Stakes (7f) & Champagne Stakes (1mile).
Six horses have won the two year old Triple Crown:
1970 – Baguette*
1977 – Luskin Star
1991 – Tierce
1992 – Burst
2004 – Dance Hero
2012 – Pierro
* Champagne Stakes was still 6f

Before the introduction of the Golden Slipper and the 2yo Triple Crown in 1957, it was the 2yo “Double” of the Sires Produce Stakes and the Champagne Stakes that  highlighted the best two year old of the season. From 1867 to 1956 (before the introduction of the Golden Slipper & the Triple Crown) there were 27 horses that completed the Sires/Champagne double.

The most successful trainer of winners of the Champagne Stakes is the legendary Tom Payten who saddled up the winner on seven occasions:
1888 Volley – 1889 Rudolph – 1892 Autonomy – 1896 Coil – 1902 Brakpan
1904 Lord Fitzroy – 1912 Cider

Riding honours rest with Shane Dye who was first past the post on six occasions:
1991 Tierce – 1992 Burst – 1993 March Hare – 1995 Isolda
1997 Encounter – 2000 Assertive Lad
