The Spring Champion Stakes is a 2000m Group 1 race held at Randwick Racecourse in Sydney. It is run with set weights and has a total prize pool of $1 million. In 2020, the Spring Champion Stakes will be raced on Saturday, October 10.
Shadow Hero claimed victory in the 2019 edition of the Spring Champion Stakes, beating a strong field that included Castelvecchio and Battenburg, who finished second and third. Later in the spring, Shadow Hero finished mid-field in the Group 1 Victoria Derby.
The first running of the Spring Champion Stakes was in 1971, with Gay Icarus crossing the line in first. Since then we’ve seen some great horses win the race, including Kingston Town, Savabeel and It’s A Dundeel.
Trainer Mark Newnham has enjoyed the Spring Champion Stakes of late, winning it the last two years. The first victory was with Maid Of Heaven, who beat Aramayo and Thinkin’ Big, and that win was followed by the success of Shadow Hero.
Hampton Court recorded the fastest 2000m time in the race over the last 20 years, clocking 2:00.30 to win the Spring Champion Stakes in 2014. That time also happens to be the 2000m Randwick track record.
