The San Domenico Stakes is a Group 3 sprint contested over 1100m for three-year-olds held at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse at the end of August as a key early Sydney Spring Racing Carnival lead-up.
Offering $250,000 in prize money, the race is run at set weights plus penalties and serves as a nice campaign kick-off for youngsters heading towards a potential run in Melbourne’s Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) down the Flemington straight over the Cup Carnival in November. Exceedance (2019) was the last three-year-old to do the San Domenico Stakes – Coolmore Stud Stakes double.
Often three-year-olds out of the San Domenico Stakes field go through the grades and rise in distance for a shot at the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m), with Bivouac (2nd in 2019) the last San Domenico graduate to go on and win the Golden Rose. In The Congo (2021) was the last three-year-old to take out the San Domenico Stakes – Golden Rose Stakes double.
The quality of the San Domenico Stakes winners in recent years has been top class and include the aforementioned Exceedance (2019) along with Star Turn (2017), Japonisme (2016) and Foxwedge (2012).
In 2025, the San Domenico Stakes third placegetter Beiwacht went on to win the Golden Rose two runs later, while Wodeton finished runner-up in both events.
