Below are additional details on the Coolmore Classic winners from 2000 to the present including the Coolmore Classic winning jockeys, trainers, weights and winning times.<\/p>\n

Crimson Cloud (48kgs in 1976) is the lightest weighted Coolmore Classic winner throughout history.<\/p>\n

Two mares have carted the equal highest-weight of 60kg to victory with Emancipation (1984) and Sunline (2000 & 2002).<\/p>\n

Sunline is also the only dual Coolmore Classic winner to date<\/strong>. Throughout her stellar career Sunline also won the Hong Kong Mile (2000m) at elite level overseas as well as a host of other Group 1 races in both Australia and New Zealand including the Cox Plate<\/a> (1999 & 2000) and Doncaster Mile Handicap (1999 & 2002) twice.<\/p>\n

Lady Shenandoah (2025) was the first three-year-old filly to win the Coolmore Classic<\/strong> since Typhoon Tracy (2009).<\/p>\n

Gai Waterhouse has prepared a record five Coolmore Classic winners most recently Con Te Partiro (2020).<\/p>\n

The 2022 Coolmore Classic winner Lighthouse broke through for her first Group 1 win in Australia.<\/p>\n

The Coolmore Classic 2023 winner<\/strong> was the Chris Waller-trained Espiona<\/strong> ($8) who celebrated her maiden elite level success on the back of a lead-up Flemington victory in the Group 3 Mannerism Stakes.<\/p>\n

Trainer Chris Waller trained back-to-back Coolmore Classic winners with Zougotcha<\/strong> saluting by a neck as the $3.30 favourite off a Group 2 Millie Fox wining lead-up in 2024.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Coolmore Classic winner was Chris Waller’s now three-time Group 1 winning filly Lady Shenandoah ($2.60F)\u00a0<\/strong>who made it five straight wins and back-to-back elite levels after her lead-up Surround Stakes success to give Waller his third victory in as many years.<\/p>\n

The 2026 Coolmore Classic winner was four-year-old Snitzel mare Lazzura at $5 <\/strong>for trainer Chris Waller with jockey James McDonald aboard on 58kg from barrier 8 to win by 0.32 lengths on a Good (4) track in a time of 1:28.39.<\/p>\n
