Robert Sangster Stakes

 



   Robert Sangster Stakes (GR1) 

                   (Swettenham Stud Stakes)

                                2024 total prize money: $1,000,000 
                           1st $547,250, 2nd $177,000, 3rd $88,250



The Robert Sangster Stakes was known in the early years as the Swettenham Stud Stakes and was first run at Morphettville over 1200m in February 1983.
It was won that first year by the Colin Little trained Ranee’s Palace who was ridden by Rod Dawkins.

Originally a set weights and penalties race for fillies and mares, the race changed to a WFA event in 1990.
In 2005 the race was awarded Group 1 status and renamed the Robert Sangster Stakes in honour of the late Robert Sangster who had passed-away the previous year. The name change was in keeping with the original name as Robert Sangster owned the famous Swettenham Stud and raced many great gallopers under the Swettenham Stud Syndicate banner. 

The most successful trainer of winners of the Robert Sangster Stakes is Mick Price who has trained the winner on four occasions:
1998 Spirit Of Love – 2004 French Bid
2009 Bel Mer – 2017 Secret Agenda

Riding honours rest with Damien Oliver who has booted home the winner on three occasions:

Australasian Oaks

 

      Australasian Oaks (GR1)                                    (Schweppes Oaks)

                        1st $547,250, 2nd $177,000, 3rd $88,250

The Australasian Oaks is a 2000m set-weight race for three-year-old fillies that is run in the autumn at Morphettville racecourse in South Australia. First run on February 10, 1982, the inaugural running was won by the David Haines owned and Bob Hoysted trained filly, Rose of Kingston

The Oaks has remained at 2000m though track conditions have seen the distance increase on occasions by between 5m and 25m due to the movement of the running rail. 

Training honours for the Australasian Oaks are shared between Bart Cummings and Lee Freedman who have both trained the winner on four occasions.

Bart Cummings: 1983 Royal Regatta – 1989 Stapleton Lass
1993 Our Tristalight – 1994 Tristalove 

Lee Freedman: 1991 Mannerism – 1999 Episode – 2002 Tully Thunder
