Aspirations was the inaugural Emancipation Stakes winner back in 1985.<\/p>\n

Sworn To Secrecy (2011) was the last Emancipation Stakes winning filly.<\/p>\n

There have been three multiple Emancipation Stakes winners<\/strong> throughout history with Zanbagh (2016-2017), Catkins (2014-2015), and Skyerush (2012-2013) all winning on back-to-back years.<\/p>\n

Zanbagh also holds the current Emancipation Stakes winning record<\/strong> over the 1500m saluting for her first in 2016 in a time of 1 minute 28:4 seconds.<\/p>\n

The 2022 Emancipation Stakes winner Promise Of Success was too good for her rivals late storming over the top of them to win the rescheduled event that took place at Newcastle Racecourse. She went on to win the $2 million The Invitation race<\/a> at Randwick that October during the spring.<\/p>\n

The Emancipation Stakes 2023 winner<\/strong> was the Chris Waller-trained Roots<\/strong> ($6) who defeated her stablemates Atishu (2nd) and Finepoint (3rd).<\/p>\n

The 2024 Emancipation Stakes winner was Olentia ($6.50)\u00a0<\/strong>who handed trainer Chris Waller with back-to-back wins in the event to continue her rise through the ranks with an impressive 2.6 length victory in the Group 2.<\/p>\n

The\u00a02025 Emancipation Stakes winner was the Joe Pride trained Lekvarte ($18)\u00a0<\/strong>who flashed home down the outside late to score a notable upset.<\/p>\n

The 2026 Emancipation Stakes winner was four-year-old Dundeel mare Idle Flyer at $1.90 odds-on favouritism <\/strong>for trainer Matthew Smith with jockey Zac Lloyd aboard on 56kg from barrier 5 to win by 0.73 lengths on a Soft (7) track in a time of 1:30.44.<\/p>\n
