Coolmore Stud Stakes betting takes place on the popular Coolmore Stud Stakes race which is held at Flemington Racecourse on a Saturday in late October or early November on the Saturday prior to the Melbourne Cup which runs on the first Tuesday of November annually.
Coolmore Stud Stakes odds are offered on the esteemed Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival Group 1 event, and the field attracts a host of quality young racehorses in their likely grand final before the end of the year.
The Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes is one of Australia’s oldest horse races and has been run and won since 1836 when Freestone became the inaugural champion of the race that was then only for two-year-old horses.
Coolmore Stud Stakes race history shows the event was originated and still registered as the Ascot Vale Stakes.
It began as a race for juveniles and stayed a two-year-old autumn racing feature up until 1965.
There was no event until it moved to the spring and became a key three-year-olds sprint in 1969 when Vain saluted.
The Coolmore Stud Stakes holds a special place in racing history due a host of turf greats having won the race early during their careers including a number of reigning Golden Slipper winners – most recently Sepoy (2011) – and subsequent two-mile Melbourne Cup champions.
Taking place at Australia’s famous Flemington Racecourse, the Coolmore Stud Stakes is a 1200m (six furlong) sprint having been run at this distance consistently since 1972 with the exception of a shorter 1170m edition in 1985. Prior to that the race distance was 1000m (1863–1872).
Horses in the Coolmore Stud Stakes field must be aged three-years-old and the event is contested at set weights.
It has held Group 1 status since 2006, the year Gold Edition won.
The Coolmore Stud Stakes runs on Victoria Derby Day in the spring with the other most recent Group 1 race for three-year-olds being Sydney’s Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) over further for the Derby hopes.
Expert Tips on the 2025 Coolmore Stud Stakes
Stay tuned for our expert tips and Coolmore Stud Stakes betting predictions ahead of this year’s Group 1 feature sprint at Flemington.
To Win: No. 3 Tentyris – BET NOW
The money’s come hard for TENTYRIS (5) heading into the Coolmore, and with good reason — the Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained colt has firmed into $4 and looks ready to deliver on Derby Day. Drawn ideally in barrier five, he gets the services of Mark Zahra again, who’s been aboard for both runs this prep and is riding with supreme confidence.
The son of Street Boss kicked off his campaign with a solid third in the Group 2 Danehill Stakes behind Mcgaw, showing raw talent despite a few wayward moments. He ironed that out next start, storming home from the back to win the Listed Gothic Stakes at Caulfield under 58.5kg, clocking some electric late splits. Now back to Flemington and down the straight over 1200m at set weights, he’s fitter, sharper, and ready to peak.
His Blue Diamond second in the autumn — beaten by a whisker at long odds — proved he’s got Group 1 class, and he’s clearly taken another step forward as a three-year-old. With the right setup and momentum behind him, Tentyris looks locked and loaded to strike. Confident play.
