From the race’s inauguration in 1973, all the way up to 2026, we have a comprehensive list of Todman Stakes winners from past race meets. Included are finishing times, as well as jockey and weights carried to victory by the winners of the traditional Golden Slipper Stakes lead-up race for two-year-olds.
Farnan (2020), Vancouver (2015) and Pierro (2012) are the latest Todman Stakes winners to continue on and win the Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) in their two-year-old season.
The 2022 Todman Stakes winner was Sejardan who saluted for the punters on a Heavy track as the $2.50 favourite when ridden to an impressive late victory by Jason Collett ahead of a $5 million Golden Slipper bid.
The Todman Stakes 2023 winner was the James Cummings-trained Cylinder ($2.90) who was good getting up over the previously undefeated favourite Red Resistance in a thrilling two-horse battle down the straight. Cylinder would return 12 months later racing on the same day but in Melbourne to win the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap (1200m) at Flemington.
The 2024 Todman Stakes winner was the Chris Waller-trained Switzerland ($3.60) who retained his unbeaten record relishing a step up in class and distance to dominate the Group 2 thanks to a 10/10 ride by James McDonald. Switzerland would return in the spring to win Flemington’s Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes over the Melbourne Cup Carnival!
The 2025 Todman Stakes winner was the Anthony & Sam Freedman trained Blue Diamond runner-up Tentyris ($8.50) who jockey Nash Rawiller rode from last to first to salute by three-quarters of a length ahead of the Golden Slipper. Tentyris would go on to win that spring’s Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes before returning in the autumn of 2026 for a Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning win over his older rivals.
The 2026 Todman Stakes winner was two-year-old Extreme Choice colt Paradoxium at $2.60 favouritism for trainer Bjorn Baker with jockey Jason Collett aboard on 56.5kg from barrier 5 to win by 1.43 lengths on a Good (4) track in a time of 1:10.37.
