Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes
Looking for this year’s Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes betting odds, field and tips? The experts at Neds have put together everything you need to know before this year’s race.
Run over 1,200 metres in early February at Caulfield Racecourse (Sandown Lakeside in 2025), the Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes attracts a variety of older mares from around Australia many of which are kicking off their Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival campaigns.
It was formerly run at Caulfield on CF Orr Stakes Day but was moved a week earlier ahead of the 2023 edition.
Starting out as a Listed Race, this race was upgraded to Group 3 in 2007 and currently offers $200,000 in prize money.
If a horse does well in the Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes, they are likely to enter the Mannerism Stakes, taking place on Blue Diamond Stakes Day. Tuscan Sling (2016) is the latest mare officially listed as having taken out the Geoffrey Bellmaine – Mannerism Stakes double after being awarded the latter victory after the original first-past-the-post (Azkadellia) was disqualified due to the Peter Foster / Ben Connolly ownership saga.
In 2022 the Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes runner-up Flying Mascot won the Mannerism Stakes and then the Group 3 Matron Stakes (1600m) at her next two starts.
Some mares may also back-up on Blue Diamond Stakes Day in the Group 1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) and Probabeel (2021) was the last to do the Geoffrey Bellmaine – Futurity Stakes double.
Multiple Group 1 winning mare Probabeel went back-to-back in 2021 and 2022 saluting for the punters both years in the Geoffrey Bellmaine results.
The 2023 Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes was held at Sandown over 1300m before returning to 1200m at Caulfield in 2024.

- #9 She’s Bulletproof
- #3 Fancify
- #5 Wrote To Arataki
She’s Bulletproof ($4F), trained by Charlotte Littlefield and ridden by Mark Zahra, delivered a stunning performance to dominate the 2025 Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes results at Sandown on Saturday. Overcoming a wide run, the mare surged ahead in the final furlong to secure a convincing two-and-three-quarter lengths victory over Fancify, with the race’s 2023 winner Wrote To Arataki finishing third. The race saw She’s Bulletproof start as the $4 top elect, and she lived up to expectations, displaying remarkable speed and stamina to salute for the punters. Post-race, an elated Littlefield expressed her joy, noting this as her first Group race win and highlighting the special bond she shares with the mare. Looking ahead, Littlefield hinted at targeting more Group races, with the mare’s next likely start being the Group 2 Rubiton Stakes on the quick back-up on February 8.
