Alan Brown Stakes
Looking for this year’s Alan Brown Stakes betting odds, race field and tips? The experts at Neds have put together everything you need to know before this year’s race.
The Alan Brown Stakes is a new event to run at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse for the first time in 2023 on Hill Stakes Day during the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival.
The event is named in honour of former Sydney Turf Club and Racing NSW Chairman, the late Alan Brown AM.
The lucrative showdown, while not currently holding Black-Type status, has $1.5 million in prize money on offer and is a quality handicap taking place over 1400m.
The Alan Brown Stakes is open to horses aged three-years-old and above, and it serves as a lead-up to the Group 1 $5 million King Charles III Stakes (1600m) held at Randwick on The Everest Day.
The qualified country-trained horses out of the Alan Brown Stakes race are also likely to target the $3 million The Big Dance (1600m) held in Sydney on the first Tuesday of November when Flemington hosts the time-honoured Melbourne Cup.
The first Alan Brown Stakes winner, Cepheus, franked the form with a Big Dance second that spring.
