Recent runnings of the Futurity Stakes

• 2022: Sierra Sue becomes a two-time Group 1 winner
  Having claimed the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes in the autumn, the Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young-trained Sierra Sue destroyed her rivals when claiming the Futurity Stakes. Having gained a perfect run in transit behind Streets Of Avalon and Mr Mozart, the mare just needed a touch of luck in the home straight, as John Allen had a lapful of horse underneath him. Sierra Sue quickly punced on the leaders inside the final furlong and managed to stave off the challenge from Tofane inside the final 100m, before holding a length a half margin on Mo’unga. The win helped claim a Wild Card entry into the 2022 All Star Mile.
• 2021: Probabeel Claims Her Third Group 1
  Despite being three wide the trip it was the Kiwi mare Probabeel, who showed plenty grit and determination to take out the Futurity Stakes. Having been in the cheap seats throughout the race, Probabeel had every right to surrender to key rival Arcadia Queen, but the Kiwi kept the WA mare at bay to help set up a mouth water clash in the All Star Mile. The win for Probabeel was her second in as many starts after taking out the Group 3 Geoffrey Bellmaine in similar circumstances.
• 2020: Streets Of Avalon Grips On To Claim first Group 1
  It was a proven advantage to be up on speed throughout the day at Caulfield and Ben Melham made it his purpose to get Streets Of Avalon to the front from the get go. Despite using plenty of petrol to get to the front, it was the Shane Nichols trained that had the last laugh holding off race favourite Super Seth in remarkable fashion. It was Super Seth’s race for the taking with 200m to go, but Streets Of Avalon dug real deep to produce another effort to get off the canvas and claim the 2020 Futurity Stakes at $9.50
• 2019: Alizee Does it the hard way
  Alizee was the short-priced favourite heading into the 2019 Futurity and favourite backers would have had their hearts in their mouths when the Godolphin runner was caught extremely wide shortly after the jump. The horse looked like and also-ran entering the straight but he kept giving as the line approached, eventually taking the lead at the 50m mark before holding off all comers to record a fantastic win.
• 2018: A Smashing Performance
  Brave Smash secured his maiden Group 1 crown, taking out the Futurity Stakes in barnstorming fashion. Camping just behind the early pacemaker Showtime, Craig Williams had to be patient, but as soon as the gap appeared he quickly raced Brave Smash to the front at the 100m to hold out the fast-finishing stablemate Tosen Stardom.
• 2017: Bart Gets His Fifth Group 1
  Black Heart Bart scored his fifth career group one when taking out the 2017 Futurity Stakes at Caulfield. The Darren Weir-trained gelding looked home around the final corner as it cantered up to the field, but stablemate Tosen Stardom burst through the middle to give it a real test. Black Heart Bart showed its true quality and scored with a bob of the head in the shadows of the post. The win extended the gelding’s superior Caulfield record to five wins from six starts. Read race report.
• 2016: Turn Me Loose takes out his second Group 1 in Australia
  Turn Me Loose recorded his second Australian group 1 win, with a unique victory showing just how good he is. Instead of setting the pace, as he had done in previous starts, jockey Opie Bosson settled the horse just behind Hucklebuck, before taking the lead with about 100m to go. The $3.70 shot beat home Stratum Star ($17) and Suavito ($7), who was a long neck back in third.
• 2015: Suavito Charges home to take out the Futurity
  A big-hearted performance netted Suavito the title after a blistering finish helped her overcome favourite Dissident. Despite Dissident jumping as short as $1.40 with some bookmakers, some money had come for Suavito, who firmed from $13 into $10 in the hours leading up to the race. Dissident made the early running with Driefontein, but the pair could not keep up with Suavitow, who won from Smokin’ Joey ($15) with the favourite back in third.
• 2014: Moment Of Changes does the CF Orr & Futurity Stakes double
  Moment Of Change made it successive group 1 victories with Luke Nolen giving the gelding a superb ride up front, managing to hold on right to the end. Moment Of Change and Nolen had won the CF Orr Stakes just weeks earlier. Sertorious was out of the gates horribly, but managed to run on for second, while Pinwheel defied age to finish third. Bull Point, who started favourite with Damien Oliver onboard, didn’t make an impact.
• 2013: All Too Easy For All Too Hard
  All Too Hard was scintillating in the 2013 running, just weeks after winning the CF Orr Stakes. Dwayne Dayne got All Too Hard out of the gates quickly and settled towards the front of the field, before swooping with about 500m to go to collar the leaders. Glass Harmonium was over three lengths back in second place, while King Mufhasa finished in third, a head behind second. All Too Hard was only a second outsidet he track record, held by Exceed And Excel, and paid $1.80 on the TAB.
• 2012: From Barrier To Box for the King
  Nash Rawiller was brilliant onboard King Mufhasa, who recorded a ninth group 1 victory in a glittering career. The $2.60 favourite lead from start to finish, to defeat Cox Plate winner Pinker Pinker ($3.60) and Adamantium ($10). New Zealander Stephen McKee was the victorious trainer with his horse finishing 1.6 seconds outside Exceed and Excel’s track record.
