Run over 1,600 metres, the Angst Stakes is a Group 3 race taking place at Randwick Racecourse. Contested at set weights plus penalties, the event offers $250,000 in prize money and is open only to mares aged four-years-old and above.
Many mares in the Angst Stakes field may have had a lead-up run in something like Newcastle’s Group 3 Tibbie Stakes and the event currently takes place as part of The Everest Day at Royal Randwick which is headlined by the world’s richest turf race – the Group 1 $20 million The Everest (1200m).
Hope In Your Heart (2022) was the last runner to complete the Tibbie Stakes – Angst Stakes double.
The best out of the Angst Stakes could continue onto Melbourne over the Cup Carnival to contest the Group 1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m) – formerly known as the Myer Classic.
Starting out as a Listed Race, this race was upgraded to Group 3 status in 2013.
The 2021 Angst Stakes for was franked with the winning mare Mirra Vision returning in the autumn of 2022 to finish second in the Group 1 Coolmore Classic (1500m).
The 2022 Angst Stakes winner Hope In Your Heart went on to run fourth in that year’s $10 million the Golden Eagle and place in a host of other top-level races including the 2023 Doncaster Mile (4th) and 2023 Queen Of The Turf Stakes (2nd).
