Included are finishing times, weights, jockeys and more details of the winning horses in the Group 2 summer showdown in Sydney.<\/p>\n

I’m Scarlet was the inaugural Expressway Stakes winner in 1974.<\/p>\n

The most recent mares to win the Expressway Stakes<\/strong> are Appearance (2014), Alizee (2019), Savatiano (2021), Magic Time (2025) and Joliestar (2026).<\/p>\n

Some of the more notable Expressway Stakes winners include Zephyr Bay (1975), Australian 2YO Triple Crown winner Luskin Star (1978), three-time Cox Plate<\/a> hero Kingston Town (1980), Saintly (1996), champion stayer Tie The Knot (2001), Lonhro (2003), and four-time Group 1 winner Trapeze Artist (2018).<\/p>\n

The 2024 Expressway Stakes winner was the Peter & Paul Snowden-trained King Of Sparta ($4)<\/strong> who flashed home late off a gun ride by James McDonald to salute in Sydney on a Saturday for the first time off his two-length Gold Coast triumph the month before in the $1 million Magic Millions Sprint.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Expressway Stakes winner was the Grahame Begg-trained mare Magic Time ($2.90)\u00a0<\/strong>who was impressive first-up getting the late split under a patient Jordan Childs’ ride to salute narrowly ahead of the autumn majors.<\/p>\n

The 2026 Expressway Stakes winner was five-year-old Zoustar mare Joliestar ($2.60F) <\/strong>for trainer Chris Waller with jockey James McDonald aboard on 57kg from barrier 5 to win by 1.19 lengths on a Good (4) track in a time of 1:09.06.<\/p>\n
