From the race’s inauguration in 1973 to 2026 we have a comprehensive list of past Coolmore Classic winners listed below. View the past Coolmore Classic results for the Group 1 Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival feature race for fillies and mares.
Below are additional details on the Coolmore Classic winners from 2000 to the present including the Coolmore Classic winning jockeys, trainers, weights and winning times.
Crimson Cloud (48kgs in 1976) is the lightest weighted Coolmore Classic winner throughout history.
Two mares have carted the equal highest-weight of 60kg to victory with Emancipation (1984) and Sunline (2000 & 2002).
Sunline is also the only dual Coolmore Classic winner to date. Throughout her stellar career Sunline also won the Hong Kong Mile (2000m) at elite level overseas as well as a host of other Group 1 races in both Australia and New Zealand including the Cox Plate (1999 & 2000) and Doncaster Mile Handicap (1999 & 2002) twice.
Lady Shenandoah (2025) was the first three-year-old filly to win the Coolmore Classic since Typhoon Tracy (2009).
Gai Waterhouse has prepared a record five Coolmore Classic winners most recently Con Te Partiro (2020).
The 2022 Coolmore Classic winner Lighthouse broke through for her first Group 1 win in Australia.
The Coolmore Classic 2023 winner was the Chris Waller-trained Espiona ($8) who celebrated her maiden elite level success on the back of a lead-up Flemington victory in the Group 3 Mannerism Stakes.
Trainer Chris Waller trained back-to-back Coolmore Classic winners with Zougotcha saluting by a neck as the $3.30 favourite off a Group 2 Millie Fox wining lead-up in 2024.
The 2025 Coolmore Classic winner was Chris Waller’s now three-time Group 1 winning filly Lady Shenandoah ($2.60F) who made it five straight wins and back-to-back elite levels after her lead-up Surround Stakes success to give Waller his third victory in as many years.
The 2026 Coolmore Classic winner was four-year-old Snitzel mare Lazzura at $5 for trainer Chris Waller with jockey James McDonald aboard on 58kg from barrier 8 to win by 0.32 lengths on a Good (4) track in a time of 1:28.39.
