Todman Stakes

Looking for early info on this year’s Todman Stakes? The experts at Neds have put together everything you need to know before this year’s race.

Run over 1,200 metres, the Todman Stakes is a Group 2 race, held every March for two-year-olds heading towards the coveted Group 1 $5 million Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m).

A set weights event for juvenile colts and geldings, it is run at Royal Randwick during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival on Randwick Guineas Day, which also features the Group 2 Reisling Stakes for Golden Slipper-bound fillies.

Farnan (2020) was the last horse to complete the Todman Stakes – Golden Slipper Stakes double for Gai Waterhouse.

The 2021 Todamn Stakes winner Anamoe went on to firmly frank the form out of the race with a Golden Slipper second and Group 1 Inglis Sires’ win that autumn. He won twice more in the spring, including the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m), with a Group 1 Golden Rose second in between and finished a devastatingly close second in that October’s $5 million Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley.
