Villiers Stakes (GR2)
(The Ingham)
2024 total prize money: $2,000,000
1st $1,155,000, 2nd $380,000, 3rd $195,000
The inaugural running of the Villiers Stakes (6 furlongs) took place at Randwick Racecourse on December 24th 1892.
The Villiers had been added to the first day of racing for the AJC Summer Carnival. The race was won by Two Up, a nine-year-old brown gelding, owned and trained by John Phillips and ridden by Tom Liddiard.
The Villiers was the feature race on the card for the first day of the two day summer carnival, with the Summer Cup being run as the main event on the second day.
In 1897 a programing change saw the Villiers and the Summer Cup both run on the first day of the summer meeting. This change only lasted until 1906 when the two summer feature races were returned to their seperate scheduling.
In 1902 the distance was increased from six furlongs to one mile and it remained at that distance until Australian racing adopted the metric measurement system in 1972. The distance was then altered to the metric equivalent of one mile ie 1600 metres.
Four horses have won the Villiers Stakes/Summer Cup double in the same year:
1952 Carioca – 1978 Dear John – 1984 Rising Prince – 2005 Aqua D’Amore.
In 2022, The Villiers Stakes was renamed ‘The Ingham’ in honour of two of NSW racings greatest stalwarts, Jack and Bob Ingham. The two Ingham brothers were major players in the NSW racing and breeding industry for many decades with their Woodlands Stud producing the winners of many of Australia’s great races. Most notable of those many winners were the outstanding Group 1 gallopers, Octagonal and his son, Lonhro.
Jack and Bob Ingham won the Villiers Stakes twice, first with their grand old galloper, Dear John in 1978 and again in 2002 with Boreale.
The rebranding of The Villiers to ‘The Ingham’ also saw the prizemoney increased from $750,000 to $2m.
The most successful trainer of winners of the Villiers Stakes is Tommy Smith with a tally of seven winners:
1957 Top Ruler – 1958 Caesar – 1971 Tumberlua – 1973 Oncidon
1974 Americano – 1975 St. Martin – 1977 Hot Diggity
Riding honours for the Villiers are shared between Ted Bartle and Darren Beadman who have both been aboard the winner on four occasions:
Ted Bartle: 1930 Pavilion – 1933 Closing Time – 1936 King’s Head
1940 Rimveil
Darren Beadman: 1987 Card Shark – 1996 Touch Of Force – 2002 Boreale
2004 Ike’s Dream
It’s surprising to note that in the more than 130 years of Villiers Stakes history, no horse has won the race more than once.

2008 – Villiers run at 1400m
Takeover Target was first past the post but lost the race
on protest for interference to Honor In War over the last 200m.
2007 – Due to the disruption to Australian racing from an Equine Influenza outbreak, the 2007 Villiers was postponed to January 2008 and the distance reduced to 1400m.
This meant that no Villiers was run in 2007 and two were run
in 2008.
