RJ Peters Stakes, Ascot Racecourse

Run over 1,500 metres, the R.J. Peters Stakes is a Group 3 handicap race taking place at Ascot Racecourse in November as part of the WA Champion Fillies Stakes Day card. With a $200,000 prize purse, it attracts some of Western Australia’s best middle distance runners.

Starting out as a Principal race, this race was made a Listed race in 1979, followed by an upgrade to Group 3 in 1986.

This race serves as a good lead-up for the Group 1 Railway Stakes (1600m), one of the three elite level features of the Perth Summer Racing Carnival as well as January’s Group 2 Perth Cup (2400m). Mississippi Delta (2019) was the last runner to complete the R.J. Peters Stakes – Perth Cup double in the same racing season. 

In 2020 the RJ Peters Stakes winner Truly Great finished a disappointing seventh in the Railway Stakes before atoning in his next run to win the Group 1 Northerly Stakes (1800m) – which was formerly known as the Kingston Town Stakes.

In 2021 Kissonallforcheeks won the RJ Peters Stakes before finishing third in both the Railway Stakes and then Kingston Town Stakes.

In 2022 the RJ Peters Stakes runner-up Alsephina went on to run second in the Railway Stakes trifecta the following weekend while the RJ Peters winner Mojo Rhythm finished a brave fifth in the Group 1.

The 2023 RJ Peters Stakes form was franked with the runner-up Alsephina running second in the Railway next start. She was also excellent the following spring in Melbourne when third in the 2024 Group 1 Toorak Handicap and fourth in the Group 1 Empire Rose Stakes.

Which Horse Will Win The R.J. Peters Stakes in 2024

The best way to pick which horse will win the R.J. Peters Stakes in 2024 is to take into account their lead-up form in the Perth races, previous runs at the Ascot track, proven Group horses and those that have contested previous editions of the event. 

Additional factors to consider when picking the RJ Peters Stakes winner include: 

  • Hot Lead Up – Keep an eye on the Asian Beau Stakes, run at a similar distance, at the same racecourse. 
  • Past Performers – The best Perth horses often run in the same races and finish well so looking for returning Top 3 performers from the previous year can be a good idea.
