Which Horse Will Win The Vamos Stakes in 2024
The best way to pick which horse will win the Vamos Stakes in 2024 is to take into account their Tasmanian autumn / summer racing form, assess the barriers, consider the weight the horse will carry and look for the in-form horses from the top local stables.
Additional factors to consider when picking the Vamos Stakes winner include:
- Best Lead Up – To get a forecast of this race, tune in to the Bow Mistress Stakes, taking place in Hobart a fortnight earlier. Take The Sit (8th in 2022) and Megamea (3rd in 2024) are the last Vamos Stakes winners to come out of that race that is now run as the Mystic Journey Stakes.
- Interstate Invasion – Expect to see some expertly trained Victorian horses travelling down to the Apple Isle for this race.
- Age Factor – Just one filly – Deroche (2020) – has defeated the older mares in the Vamos Stakes since 2006.
Vamos Stakes Favourites 2024
Early favourites in 2024 Vamos Stakes betting include last start Group 3 Mystic Journey Stakes winner Yellow Sam, runner-up in the same key lead-up at Hobart Alvarinho, and Craig Williams’ mount Megamea looking to go two better than her Mystic Journey third last time out.
Deroche ($1.80 in 2020) was the last Vamos Stakes favourite to win.
