Canterbury Stakes (GR1)
2024 total prize money: $750,000
1st $430,000, 2nd $141,000, 3rd $71,500
The Canterbury Stakes was first run over 6 furlongs at Canterbury racecourse on Saturday September 7th and was won by the great WFA galloper, Amounis.
The distance was increased from 1200m (metric equivalent of 6 furlongs) to 1300m in 2004 where it still remains today. It did have a one-off distance change in 2008 when the race was extended to 1550m, but it reverted back to 1300m the following year.
Over the years the race has been contested at three racecourses, Canterbury, Rosehill and Randwick with the vast majority being held at Canterbury. The race is now run every year at Randwick racecourse after being transferred there in 2014.
Many great WFA gallopers have won the Canterbury Stakes including, Amounis, Chatham, Beau Vite, Shannon, San Domenico, Sky High, Baguette, Manikato, Emancipation and More Joyous, to name a few.
Five horses have won the Canterbury Stakes on more than one occasion:
Holdfast – 1930/32/32
San Domenico 1950/51
Sky High 1951/52
At Sea 1988/89
More Joyous 2011/12
