Concorde Stakes betting takes place on the popular sprint race which is held at Sydney’s Randwick Racecourse on a Saturday in early September annually.
Concorde Stakes odds are offered on the important Group 3 event, and the field attracts a host of quality gallopers many of which are eyeing runs in the upcoming Group 1 spring majors including the world’s richest turf race – the $20 million Group 1 The Everest back at the track in October.
The Group 3 Concorde Stakes is one of Sydney’s most popular Group 3 horse races and has been run and won since 1989 when Alpine Flyer won.
It has been a key event on Australia’s racing calendar for over 30 years and continues to attract the best horses, jockeys and trainers from across the country and New Zealand as it grows in prestige.
The Concorde Stakes has already been won by some of the most iconic horses in Australian racing history, most famously three-time champion and dual The Everest hero Redzel.
The other standout Concorde Stakes winner in the event’s history is Nature Strip. In 2021, Nature Strip finally conquered the Concorde Stakes on his third try, a pivotal win that propelled him to achieve the coveted Concorde Stakes – The Everest double that spring. He further cemented his champion status by winning the Group 1 VRC Sprint Classic at Flemington later that year, and he famously returned in 2022 to claim his third TJ Smith Stakes before a dominant 4.5-length victory in the Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot in the UK.
Winning the Concorde Stakes is a significant achievement in the racing community, and the event attracts lots of attention from punters both locally and internationally in New Zealand.
Taking place at Royal Randwick Racecourse in Sydney on the east coast of Australia, the Concorde Stakes is a 1,000m event.
It was originally held at Rosehill Racecourse (1990–2010) and was also run twice at Warwick Farm Racecourse (2011 and 2012). It has consistently been conducted at Randwick since 2013.
The Concorde Stakes was elevated to Group 3 status in 1997, the year Armidale won.

First run in 1895, the race has a storied history and is often a key stepping-stone for elite middle-distance and staying horses targeting Group 1 features later in the spring.
The Chelmsford Stakes has been won by legends such as Winx, Lonhro, Might And Power, and Phar Lap, and in recent years by Buckaroo (2024), Navajo Peak (2023), and Think It Over (2021).

Expert Tips on the 2025 Concorde Stakes
Stay tuned for our expert tips and Concorde Stakes betting predictions ahead of this year’s Group 3 feature at Randwick.
To Win: #5 Headwall ($5 at time of publish)
I do love LADY SHENANDOAH and she’s deserving favourite for her four-year-old debut, but I just cannot go past the value of HEADWALL (5) who is a very good and constantly underrated short-distance specialist getting plenty to suit for his return to the races. Matthew Smith’s gun Dream Ahead six-year-old is yet to win over further than 1000m so this distance is his jam. His strike rate shows that (9:5-1-3) but he’s also got the class, not just speed, to be ultra-competitive fresh. He was enormous over the autumn at the top level without winning putting in massive efforts to run close in the Oakleigh Plate (4th), Newmarket Handicap (2nd) and TJ Smith (3rd) before heading to Perth for the $4 million The Quokka where he went down by a narrow margin to Jokers Grin. Trialling well in Sydney, gets things his way from barrier five and can give this race a shake-up with a potential The Everest slot pending.

What are the best Concorde Stakes lead-up races to look at when placing a Concorde Stakes bet?
The majority of horses in the Concorde Stakes field are kicking off their spring campaigns racing first-up off a spell.
Earlier, Concorde Stakes contenders may have contested the feature Group 1 sprints over the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival including the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (1200m), Group 1 Kingsford-Smith Cup (1300m) and the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap (1400m).
Adelaide’s Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) and Group 1 The Goodwood (1200m) – both held at Morphettville in May – may also be contested by the upcoming spring’s potential Concorde Stakes horses.
Australian-Bred Horses in the Concorde Stakes
Betting on the Australian-bred horses in the field is more and more popular as Concorde Stakes tips favour the proven Australian-bred hopes who have dominated the race over the past 20 or so years.
Looking back over the Concorde Stakes history and statistics shows that since the year 2000, only one horse bred outside of Australia has won the event with the Kiwi bred Tiger Tees (NZ) in 2012.
Concorde Stakes Tips for a Trifecta
Concorde Stakes tips for a trifecta cover the first three horses to officially go past the finishing post in the Concorde Stakes results.
The horse to finish on top of the Concorde Stakes trifecta is your Concorde Stakes winner, the runner who outlasted all their rivals and finished in the fastest time.
Placing a Concorde Stakes trifecta exotic bet on the race is a great way to add to the thrill and potentially be rewarded with a generous pay-out.
A Concorde Stakes trifecta is only successful if the three horses in your bet finish in the exact order you predict. Punters may choose instead to box their trifecta bets on the Concorde Stakes to cover more finishing options and increase the chances of winning.
Adding the favourite in your Concorde Stakes trifecta bets is a top tip as the favourites have a strong recent strike-rate running top three.
