Tancred Stakes 2024

Tancred Stakes

Preview, Trends & Analysis

The Rundown

The Tancred Stakes is one of a kind. 

It is the only Group 1 Weight-for-Age race run over 2400 metres on the Australian racing calendar.

It attracts star prospects and champions almost every year and is one of the most prestigious events during the Sydney autumn carnival. 

The event garners a prize pool over $1,500,000. 

Formerly known as ‘The BMW’ through the 2000s, the name of the race was changed back ‘Tancred’ in 2018. 

Former Sydney Turf Club chairman Hugh Tancred is who the Tancred Stakes is named after. 

The Famous Winners and Record Results

Champion import and Cox Plate winner Sir Dragonet crushed his rivals to win the Tancred Stakes in 2021.

Unfortunately, for punters and connections, Sir Dragonet has since passed away and a new champion will be crowned in 2022. 

The honour role in the Tancred Stakes is one that puts a sparkle in the eye. 

Melbourne Cup champion and 10-time Group 1 winner Verry Elleegant triumphed in the Tancred Stakes back in 2020 to make it a second success in the race for trainer Chris Waller. 

Preferment (2016) was Waller’s first win the race. 

Godolphin, like Waller, has pinched the race twice with the old marvel Avilius (2019) and Hartnell (2015) getting the job done. 

If we scroll back further, Makybe Diva (2015), Tie The Knot (2000, 1999), Might and Power (1998), Octagonal (1997, 1996), Bonecrusher (1986) and Kingston Town (1980) have ticked the Tancred Stakes off on their winning resume.
