The Rundown

The Winterbottom Stakes is the headline sprint race for the WA Spring Carnival at Ascot Racecourse.

Run over 1200 metres, it is a true test of a sprinter’s capability to show a dynamic turn-of-foot in what is usually a high-pressure race. 

The Winterbottom Stakes was first run in 1952 and won by Raconteur. 

Group 2 criteria is where the race sat from 1979 and it was then upgraded to Group 1 status in 2011 where it has remained since. 

The Winterbottom Stakes was not always run over 1200 metres either. 

From its inauguration to 1994, it was a race run over 1400 metres prior to being dragged back to 1200 metres in 1994.

Since then, the race has had some handy sprinters take home the chocolates. 

Elite Street is the reigning champion of the race and he joins illustrious company with the likes Buffering, Ortensia, Miss Andretti and Takeover Target. 

Both Buffering and Ortensia have won the Winterbottom Stakes twice
