From the races inauguration in 1952, all the way up to 2024, we have a comprehensive list of Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes winners from past race meets.

View additional details on the Winterbottom Stakes winners from 1983 to the present including winning times, ages and weights carried to victory by the Winterbottom Stakes winners in the $1.5 million Perth Summer Racing Carnival Group 1 sprint.

The inaugural Winterbottom Stakes winner was Raconteur in 1952.

The 1987 Winterbottom Stakes winner, the locally foaled Placid Ark, won a host of top races during a stellar season including the Group 1 Lightning Stakes, Oakleigh Plate, Newmarket Handicap treble in Melbourne that autumn.

In 2005 Miss Andretti won the Winterbottom Stakes and went on to win further Group 1 races including the 2007 Newmarket Handicap. In May of 2007 she also travelled to the UK and beat the course record at Royal Ascot in that year’s King’s Stand Stakes.

The 2008 Winterbottom Stakes winner Takeover Target also competed internationally and won the 2006 King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot during his outstanding turf career.

Class mare Ortensia (2009, 2011) and Queensland great Buffering (2013, 2015) both recently won dual editions of the Winterbottom Stakes on non-successive years.

Multiple Winterbottom Stakes winners: Asteroid (1953, 1955); La Trice (1970, 1971); Belinda’s Star (1975, 1976); Hardrada (2002, 20003), Ortensia (2009, 2011), Buffering (2013, 2015), Overpass (2023, 2024).

The 2022 Winterbottom Stakes winner Paulele scored an upset at $13 improving on a lead-up 11th in Flemington’s Group 1 Champions Sprint to post a narrow victory in Perth thanks to a 10/10 ride by jockey Ben Melham.

The 2023 Winterbottom Stakes winner was the Bjorn Baker-trained favourite Overpass ($3F) who hit the front a furlong out and flew home for a stylish win for the punters having earlier taken out the inaugural $4 million The Quokka race at the track that autumn.

The 2024 Winterbottom Stakes winner was the Bjorn Baker-trained top elect Overpass ($3.20F) who saluted for the punters again with his successful title defence from the extreme outside barrier (16 of 16).
