Best Northwood Plume Stakes bookmakers
The Northwood Plume Stakes isn’t one of the star races of the spring carnival, so online bookmakers won’t open early all-in markets. Bookmakers will open markets for the Northwood Plume the week of the race, with these odds usually launching when the field is available.
Some Northwood Plume Stakes betting sites will allow you to bet via the TAB in advance, which means you can wager without seeing what the current odds are, while as the race draws closer fixed odds will become available.

Recent Northwood Plume Stakes winners
- Richard & Chantelle Jolly took out the Group 3 Northwood Plume Stakes with Aviatress ($6), who claimed the first Group race of the 2024 Caulfield Cup Carnival. Craig Williams settled the daughter of Smart Missile on speed outside of Shaime ($26), and the two ran the race to suit themselves, as they set a moderate tempo and gave a strong kick on the home turn. Coming off a strong victory at Morphettville last start, the four-year-old mare regained her confidence and showed a clean pair of heels to pull away from a strong field of mares. The race favourite with horse racing bookmakers, A Little Deep ($3.20), settled behind the speed with Extratwo ($6.50); however, upon straightening, none of the favoured runners could go with the winner as she booted clear. A Little Deep held off the rest of the field and finished in second place ahead of a fast-finishing Bizot ($17), who rounded out the placings.
- Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman combined with Linda Meech as She Dances ($9.00) ran away from her rivals to claim her first Group victory in the 2023 Northwood Plume Stakes at Caulfield. The daughter of Street Boss had always shown promise throughout her career but had not been able to capture a Group win. However, after getting a great run behind the leader race favourite Red Card ($3.90), Meech allowed her mare to find a rhythm before releasing the brakes to then idle past the leader and boot clear in the final 200m. Rose Quartz ($4.60) appeared as though she was going to challenge the winner, but was a bit wayward and finished second, whilst La Danseuse Rogue ($34.00) ran another honest race at Group level to run home into third place.
- On a comeback from a serious neck injury, Dean Yendall partnered the Matthew Williams-trained Literary Magnate ($15) to a handy victory in the Northwood Plume Stakes. Despite arguably racing short of her best distance first-up, Yendall had the mare in a perfect position throughout. When he asked the mare to quicken, she did so nicely and managed to get the better of Written Beauty ($16) by a long neck, and Decent Raine ($20) a further nose behind in third.
- Purchased for just $16,000, the Mathew Ellerton & Simon Zahra-trained Dirty Thoughts ($9) claimed the biggest win of her career when saluting in the Northwood Plume Stakes. Daniel Moor had the mare positioned at the rear of the field throughout the race, but when asked for the ultimate effort, Dirty Thoughts produced a stunning finish to reel in race leader La Mexicano ($4.40) and Nudge ($12) in the shadows of the winning post.
- Having not won in over 18 months, Hugh Bowman led the Chris Waller-trained Fiesta ($10) to a breathtaking victory in the Northwood Plume. Bowman positioned the mare near midfield throughout, skilfully keeping her wide yet ensuring she traveled comfortably with cover. Fiesta navigated the challenging Caulfield corner effortlessly and, upon entering the straight, she gathered herself before accelerating decisively to the finish line.
