Named in honour of the former champion mare Emancipation, the Group 2 Emancipation Stakes is a set weights plus penalties race for fillies and mares held in late March during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
Run over 1500m and offering $300,000 in prize money as of 2024, the Emancipation Stakes moved to Rosehill Gardens Racecourse in 2014 and now takes place on Tancred Stakes Day.
The meeting is headlined by the Group 1 $1.5 million Tancred Stakes (2400m) and the Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m). Along with the Emancipation Stakes, the other Group 2 support act on the card is the Tulloch Stakes (2000m) for ATC Derby types.
Runners in the Emancipation Stakes field may come via a run in a race like the Group 1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) at the same track / distance a fortnight earlier.
After the Group 2 a nice option for the best out of the Emancipation Stakes is a Royal Randwick run during ‘The Championships’ in the Group 1 Queen Of the Turf Stakes (1600m) and Amanpour (2nd in 2015) was the last Emancipation Stakes graduate to go on and win that Group 1.
The Emancipation Stakes winner is exempt from ballot for the Queen Of The Turf Stakes.
The 2022 Emancipation Stakes form was franked with the winner Promise Of Success returning in the spring to win the $2 million The Invitation race.
In 2023 the Emancipation Stakes winner Roots went on to run second that winter in Brisbane’s Group 1 Tattersall’s Tiara (1400m).
The 2023 Emancipation Stakes also produced that year’s next-up Queen Of The Turf Stakes winner with runner-up Atishu going on to claim the Group 1. Atishu also won the Group 1 Champions Stakes (2000m) at Flemington that spring.
The Emancipation Stakes 2024 ran on Saturday March 30, 2024 at Rosehill Gardens as a key lead-up to the Queen Of The Turf Stakes and was won in runaway fashion by the Chris Waller-trained Olentia ($6.50).

2024 Emancipation Stakes Tips
Stay tuned for our insider Emancipation Stakes 2024 Tips on the Tancred Stakes Day event this autumn.
- To Win: #13 Makarena ($4 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Makarena looms as the deserving favourite in the Emancipation Stakes. Fully fit and ready to peak at her fourth run this campaign, she takes on the older mares with a clear shot at victory. Looking to capture her first win since the Tapp-Craig Stakes last spring (1400m), Makarena has been consistent throughout her autumn campaign. Her efforts include a promising fifth in the Group 1 Surround Stakes (two lengths off the winner in elite company) and a runner-up finish to the Group 1 VRC Oaks winner Zardozi in the Group 2 Phar Lap Stakes (carrying 54.5kg). With a weight reduction to 53kg, jockey Tim Clark in the saddle again, and a good barrier draw (barrier 1), Makarena has a strong chance to claim victory.

Emancipation Stakes History
First held in 1985, the Emancipation Stakes was first won by Aspirations when it was a Listed race. In 1996 it became a Group 3 event until 1999 when it was elevated to Group 2 status. R.S. Dye is the only jockey to have managed six wins in the event between years 1988 to 1999.
The race is named in honour of Emancipation. Emancipation was a mare who only raced as a three and four year old however her racing career was outstanding. She won 19 out of 28 starts and all seven of her Group 1 wins were in Sydney.
There have been three dual winners of the race in the past decade with: Skyerush (2012-13), Catkins (2014-15), and Zanbagh (2016-17).
See below for a full list of Emancipation Stakes results going back to 2000.
In 2022 the Emancipation Stakes was moved from Rosehill on Saturday the 26th of March to Newcastle on Monday the 28th of March due to unsafe Heavy track conditions and rainfall.
