TL Baillieu Handicap News
The TL Baillieu Handicap is a Group 3 race conducted at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse in late March during the annual Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
A quality handicap for two-year-old horses run over 1400m, the event offers $250,000 in total prize money and is a key support act on Tancred Stakes Day that is headlined by two Group 1 races – the Tancred Stakes (2400m) and Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m).
Young horses head into the TL Baillieu Handicap field via earlier autumn runs in races including the Group 3 Pago Pago Stakes (1200m) or Group 3 Magic Night Stakes (1200m) a fortnight earlier at the track.
Following a run in the TL Baillieu Handicap, two-year-olds may continue onto the Group 1 ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) at Royal Randwick or step up to a mile for the Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m) in mid-April.
In 2016 Prized Icon ran second in the Baillieu Handicap and won the Champagne Stakes two starts later. The following year, The Mission (2017) won the Baillieu and after an unplaced Sires’ run took out the Group 1 Champagne Stakes.
The form of the 2021 TL Baillieu was franked when the runner-up Converge went on to third in the Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m) that April and also win the Group 1 J. J. Atkins (1600m) in Brisbane that winter.
The 2022 TL Baillieu Handicap form was franked with the winner Williamsburg going on to run third that prep in the Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m). He also returned in the autumn of 2023 and placed third in the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m).
The TL Baillieu Handicap 2024 ran on Saturday March 30, 2024 at Rosehill Gardens on Tancred Stakes Day and was won in a devastatingly close finish by the John O’Shea-trained odds-on favourite, Super Seth colt Linebacker ($1.85F).
