Maidenhead was the inaugural Tancred Stakes winner back in 1963 when the event first ran as the HE Tancred Cup.

Fiveandahalfstar (2013) was the last three-year-old Tancred Stakes winner, while no filly has ever been successful.

Only two horses to date have won multiple editions of the Tancred Stakes with Tie The Knot (1999, 2000) and Octagonal (1996, 1997) both going back-to-back.

Grand Zulu holds the current Tancred Stakes record winning in 2004 in a time of 2 minutes 25:78 seconds.

Many Tancred Stakes winners come off a lead-up run in the Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m) at Flemington and Duais (2022) was the last to do the interstate double.

The 2022 Tancred Stakes winner Duais was brilliant saluting for the punters as the $2.40 favourite in the rescheduled event that took place at Newcastle Racecourse.

Many Tancred Stakes winners also won the Melbourne Cup race either before or after including Hyperno (1978), Might And Power (1988), Ethereal (2001),  triple Melbourne Cup winning mare Makybe Diva (2005) and, Verry Elleegant (2020).

Other notable Tancred Stakes winners including three-time Cox Plate champion Kingston Town (1980), Bonecrusher (1986), Freemason (2003), Hartnell (2015), and Sir Dragonet (2021).

The 2023 Tancred Stakes winner Arapaho enjoyed an upset at $14 odds defeating the beaten favourite Montefilia off a lead-up Canberra Cup success.

The Tancred Stakes 2024 winner was the Kris Lees-trained seven-year-old Kalapour ($31) who posted a notable upset off a gun ride by now two-time Group 1 winning apprentice jockey Dylan Gibbons.

The 2025 Tancred Stakes winner is TBC and will be known when the Group 1 runs at Rosehill Racecourse on Saturday the 29th of March 2025.
