Winterbottom Stakes (GR1)
2024 total prize money: $1,500,000
1st $822,000, 2nd $279,000, 3rd $132,000
The first running of the WFA Winterbottom Stakes (7 furlongs) took place at Perth’s Ascot racecourse on December 20 1952. The race was named in honour of the former chairman of the WATC and much respected West Australian racing stalwart, Mr W. J. Winterbottom who’d passed-away earlier in the year.
The race was won by Mrs G. W. Gwynne’s three-year-old champion, Raconteur.
Raconteur had swept all before him that summer including the WATC Strickland Stakes, West Australian Guineas and West Australian Derby.
The race distance remained at 1400m (7 furlongs before metric) until 1993 when it was shortened to 1200m.
Arguably, the most memorable running of the Winterbottom Stakes occurred in 2008 when the great east-coast champions Takeover Target and Apache Cat travelled west to take on the local stars. The race certainly lived up to expectations as the two great gallopers fought out a desperate finish, with Takeover Target holding-off a determined Apache Cat to score by a nose.
Six horses have won the Winterbottom Stakes on more than one occasion:
Asteroid 1953 & 1955 – La Trice 1970/71 – Belinda’s Star 1975/76
Hardrada 2002/03 – Ortensia 2009 & 2011 – Buffering 2013 & 2015
The most successful trainer of winners of the Winterbottom is Wally Mitchell who has saddled-up the winner on three occasions:
Scarlet Gem 1980 – Nitro Lad 1982 – Placid Ark 1987
Riding honours are shared between Frank Treen and John Miller who have both saluted the judge on four occasions.
