Hobartville Stakes
Looking for this year’s Hobartville Stakes betting tips, field and form guide? The expert tipsters at Neds have put together everything you need to know.
Run over 1,400 metres during late February each year, the Hobartville Stakes is a Group 2 race run in the early stages of the coveted Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
Contested at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse, the $400,000 feature is run at set weights and is hope only to three-year-olds making it a key lead-up into the Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m), which takes place a fortnight later.
Dissident (2014), Hallowed Crown (2015), Kementari (2018), and The Autumn Sun (2019) are the latest horses to complete the Hobartville Stakes – Randwick Guineas double.
The Autumn Sun (2019) also went on to win the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (1600m) following his success in the Hobartville Stakes and Randwick Guineas as a three-year-old.
Anamoe (2022) was the last horse to win the Hobartville Stakes – Rosehill Guineas double. He also finished runner-up in that year’s Randwick Guineas results and returned in the spring for four straight Group 1 victories capped off by his Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) triumph at The Valley.
