Run over 2,400 metres each autumn in late March at Rosehill Gardens, the Group 1 Tancred Stakes is a $1.5 million feature formerly known as The BMW.

If you’re looking for a nice lead up to this race, look no further than the Ranvet Stakes taking place two weeks earlier on Golden Slipper Day, has produced many recent Tancred Stakes winners including Sir Dragonet (4th in 2021) and Verry Elleegant (2nd) in 2020. The year before, Avilius (2019) became the latest horse to complete the Ranvet – Tancred Stakes double

The winner of this race is exempt from the ballot of the Queen Elizabeth Stakes as well as the Sydney Cup.

Which Horse Will Win The Tancred Stakes in 2025

The best way to pick which horse will win the Tancred Stakes in 2025 is to take into account their lead-up autumn racing form, assess the barriers, look for the proven Group 1 horses and those with winning form at the distance.

Additional factors to consider when picking the Tancred Stakes winner include:

  • Fierce Fours – Four-year-olds have tended to dominate this race with eight victories from 2006-2024.
  • Last Start Winners – Horses coming off a lead-up win especially in the Ranvet Stakes have a dominant recent record in the Tancred. Duais (2022) who won Flemington’s Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m) and Arapaho (2023) who took out the Listed Canberra Cup (2000m) are the latest last start winners to salute in the Tancred. 

Tancred Stakes Favourites 2025

Early favourites in 2025 Tancred Stakes betting include William Haggas’ UK raider Desert Hero, his Group 1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud winning stablemate Dubai Honour, and Chris Waller’s Caulfield Cup runner-up from last spring Buckaroo.

From 2005-2024 the Tancred Stakes favourites boast nine wins most recently with Avilius (2019), Verry Elleegant ($2.15 in 2020) who went on to win the following year’s Melbourne Cup horse race, Sir Dragonet ($5.50 in 2021), and Duais ($2.40 in 2022).

There was a notable upset in 2024 with Kalapour saluting at $31.
