Sheraco Stakes News


The Sheraco Stakes is a 1200m Group 2 sprinting event held at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse during September.

With total prize money of $300,000, the Sheraco Stakes is a nice Sydney Spring Racing Carnival kick-off for sprinting fillies and mares and is usually targeted by most major Sydney trainers. Open only to fillies and mares and run under set weights with penalties conditions, this is a great race for form guide to follow into later spring features.

Some of the better three-year-old fillies in the Sheraco Stakes might choose to step up in class and distance and contend the Group 2 Tea Rose Stakes (1400m), while the lucrative Group 2 Golden Pendant later in the month is another likely aim. Mizzy (2019) was the last mare to win the Sheraco Stakes – Golden Pendant racing double.

The best mares out of the Sheraco Stakes results each spring could eventually end up in Melbourne on Victoria Derby Day at Flemington running in the Group 1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m) over the mile, a race the 2014 Sheraco Stakes winner Catkins ran third to Bonaria in. Catkins also returned and went back-to-back winning the 2016 Sheraco Stakes.

In 2020 the Sheraco Stakes winner Haut Brion Her went on to run second in that season’s $1 million Winners Stakes (now Russell Balding Stakes).

The 2021 Sheraco Stakes form was franked with the winner Entriviere running third in the Golden Pendant and fourth in the The Invitation before heading back across the Tasman for a Group 1 NZ Railway Stakes victory the following January.

The 2022 Sheraco Stakes winner Shades Of Rose went on to contest that year’s The Everest race – now worth $20 million – finishing eighth in the world’s richest turf race.

The 2023 Sheraco Stakes winner Sunshine In Paris returned in the autumn of 2024 to run a next-up second in the Group 1 The Galaxy (1100m). The Sheraco form from 2023 was further franked with the runner-up, Espiona, winning the Group 2 Golden Pendant next start as well as that year’s $2 million The Invitation.

Sunshine In Paris went back-to-back in the 2024 Sheraco Stakes when successfully defending her title.

The 2024 Sheraco Stakes ran on Saturday, September 14, 2024 at Rosehill Gardens and saw Sunshine In Parish ($3.80) become a two-time winner with a big run late to go back-to-back.

  • To Win: #3 Joliestar ($1.75 at time of publish) – BET NOW

Joliestar is the odds-on favourite in the Sheraco Stakes with her consistent form and recent first-up victory making her very hard to knock. The Group 1 winning Zoustar mare, trained by Chris Waller, has a promising record and has shown remarkable ability in her recent races with less weight. Despite carrying a higher weight now, Joliestar’s class and ability give her a significant advantage over the other horses in the field. Her resuming victory in the Group 3 Show County Quality demonstrates her competitive spirit and determination, making her a likely winner of the Sheraco Stakes.

2024 Sheraco Stakes Field

The 2024 Sheraco Stakes field is released on the Wednesday before the race attracting a quality line-up of fillies and mares at the start of their spring campaigns.

2024 Sheraco Stakes Nominations

The 2024 Sheraco Stakes nominations are released by Racing NSW on the Monday leading-up to the race and will be published in full below.

Sheraco Stakes History

The Sheraco Stakes is named after the winner of the 1982 Australian Oaks and all-round successful filly Sheraco.

Patou took out the inaugural edition of the Sheraco Stakes in 1998. Since then, a number of impressive horses have filled out the Sheraco Stakes each year, making this a race always worth punting on. Following only two years in existence, the quality of the field and the need for another black-type race for fillies and mares ensured that the Sheraco Stakes was quickly upgraded to Listed status (in 2000). In 2013, the Sheraco Stakes was again upgraded and is now a Group 2 event.

Initially run over 1100m, with the upgrade came an increase in distance to 1200m. The Sheraco Stakes has also been known by the sponsored name “Winning Edge Presentation Stakes”.

The Sheraco Stakes was later boosted to a Group 2 event for the first time in 2018.

Notable Sheraco Stakes winners include Nanny Maroon (2001), Mimi Lebrock (2008), More Joyous (2010, 2012), Driefontein (2013) and Entriviere (2021).

Sunshine In Paris (2023-24) is the latest two-time Sheraco Stakes winner.

Sheraco Stakes results since 2000 are below.

The 2021 Sheraco Stakes ran at Kembla Grange due to COVID-19 restrictions.
