All Aged Stakes
Australia | FEATURE RACE GUIDE
History
The All Aged Stakes is a Group 1 race for Open Class horses conducted by the Australian Turf Club at Randwick.
The All Aged Stakes was first run in 1866 and was won by Falcon.
The All Aged Stakes is run over 1400m under Standard Weight For Age conditions. Until 2004 when the carnival had a revamp, it was over the mile.
The All Aged Stakes was also the original name of the race we now know as the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Since 2000, nine fillies and mares have won at Randwick. The previous mare winner was Tofane (2020) and the previous filly winner was English (2016).
The most recent 3yo Colt or Gelding to score was Giga Kick (2023).
Gai Waterhouse has won it the most times as a trainer with five ahead of Tom Lamond, Maurice McCarten and Tommy Smith with four.
For the jockeys Jim Pike has seven wins in front of Neville Sellwood with five.
After the race was reduced to 1400m in 2004, the TJ Smith Stakes run the fortnight before is the main guide with 10 of the last 20 coming through that including the 6 of the last 8. However 5 other races have provided the winner, either at WFA or at handicap.
Fiorente flashed home for third in a one run preparation in 2013 and would then win the Melbourne Cup that Spring.
Cascadian winning for James Cummings in 2022 meant it was the second time he and his father Anthony won G1s on the same program (2019 Stradbroke day). He'd come back from an Australian Cup win to place in 2023.
Giga Kick winning the 2023 edition meant both The Everest and the Golden Eagle (I Wish I Win – TJ Smith) winners both won their first G1s over the carnival.
The 2024 All Aged Stakes was worth $1,500,000.
