Waller\u2019s Fernhill Handicap winner from the Saturday prior,\u00a0Diameter<\/strong>\u00a0($26), ran huge for third.

    \"Castelvecchio<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The Group 1 Champagne Stakes is a 1600m set weights race for two-year-old mile types contested at Royal Randwick in mid-late April each Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The event is one of two final elite level features of the carnival run alongside the Group 1 All Aged Stakes (1400m) for TJ Smith Stakes graduates and is held on the Saturday following the coveted ‘The Championships’ race days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Group 1 Inglis’ Sires Produce Stakes<\/a> (1400m) held at the track a fortnight earlier is considered a key lead-up into the Champagne Stakes with King’s Legacy (2020) and Militarize (2023) the last youngsters to do the double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Champagne Stakes is also considered the final leg of the coveted Juvenile Triple Crown<\/strong> following on from the Golden Slipper<\/a> and Inglis’ Sires. Six two-year-olds have won the Autumn 2YO Triple Crown with Baguette (1970), Luskin Star (1977), Tierce (1991), Burst (1992), Dance Hero (2004), and most recently Pierro (2012).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2023 trainer Chris Waller took out the Sydney 2YO Triple Crown with Shinzo saluting in the Golden Slipper before Militarize won the Inglis – Champagne Stakes double. He also returned that spring to frank the form with a win in the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes<\/a> (1400m).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2022 the Golden Slipper – ATC Sires’ winning filly Fireburn was narrowly beaten in the final leg and denied the Triple Crown by the barest of margins going down to She’s Extreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    She’s Extreme would frank the Champagne Stakes form that spring placing in a number of Sydney Group 1 races<\/strong> before her impressive Group 1 VRC Oakes (2500m) victory at Flemington over the Melbourne Cup Carnival<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A time honoured classic having been run and won since 1861, the Champagne Stakes has been won by plenty of nice types during their juvenile racing season including Vain (1969) who won the race by a record 10 lengths in 1:09.40 when it was a 1200m event and the current 1600m race record (1:34.47) holder Seabrook (2018).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The 2024 Champagne Stakes form was firmly franked with the winner, Broadsiding, going on to win the Group 1 JJ Atkins (1600m) in Brisbane that winter and the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes that spring in Sydney before his gallant third behind superstar Via Sistina in October\u2019s Ladbrokes Cox Plate<\/a> results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2026, trainer Chris Waller trained the Champagne Stakes trifecta with his Inglis Sires\u2019 third placegetter, Fireball ($6.50), narrowly upsetting the team\u2019s winner of that key lead-up, Campione D\u2019italia, with Diameter on the quick back-up off a Fernhill Handicap win at the track and trip the Saturday prior finishing third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
