The Premiere Stakes is a Group 2 race for open class horses and is run under Weight For Age conditions, boasting a prize pool of $1,000,000.
Since the inaugural running of the Premiere Stakes in 1972, the race was classified as Listed until 1978, before being upgraded to Group 3 level from 1979 to 1996. From 1997 onwards, the Premiere Stakes has been run as a Group 2.
Although the Premiere Stakes was run at Canterbury Racecourse in 1984 and 1993, between 1972 and 2010 the race was run at Rosehill Gardens, before being transferred to Randwick from 2011 onwards.
The Premiere Stakes used to be run at start of the racing season but has been moved to Epsom Handicap Day, making it the ideal lead up race for The Everest.
Notable winners of the Premiere Stakes include Lost And Running (2022), Masked Crusader (2021), Brutal (2019), Santa Ana Lane (2018), In Her Time (2017), Terravista (2015), Hot Danish (2010), Paratroopers (2006), Mr Innocent (1999 & 2000), Joanne (1991 & 1992), Emancipation (1983) and Kingston Town (1981).

Recent Premiere Stakes winners
- Think About It ($1.85) continued his extraordinary winning run by claiming the Group 2 Premiere Stakes at Randwick, which has seen his career record improve to 10 wins from 11 starts. After being sent around as an odds-on favourite with online bookmakers, punters that took the short odds would have been worried when the runner-up Hawaii Five Oh ($8.50) charged at the leader in the final 100m, but as winners do, Think About It got his head down to get the photo. Unlike most of his wins to date, the son of So You Think had to bide his time on the inside and take an inside run along the rail, but once Sam Clipperton pushed the button at the 300m mark he exploded with a burst of acceleration to hit the front. Going off the performances of Hawaii Five Oh and Bella Nipotina ($7.00) – who filled the placings and finished off the race strong.
- One of the tightest finishes to the Premiere Stakes has seen the top four finish within two lengths of one another, with Lost And Running (+140) getting the victory. The heavily backed race favourite was able to get past Mazu (+220) and hold off the late challenge of Masked Crusader (+1200), who flew up the inside rail. Under the urgings of Hugh Bowman, the John O’Shea-trained runner showed that he would be a big chance in The Everest at his next start, after his tough Group 2 win.
- The Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes-trained Masked Crusader (+150) has stormed home from the back of the field to take out the 2021 Group 2 Premiere Stakes at Randwick. Roughie Adelong (+4000) and second favourite Rothfire (+240) ensured a fast run race, with the two going at each other for the majority of the 1200m contest, which set the race up for the backmarkers. At the top of the home straight it appeared as though Tommy Berry had nowhere to go on the race favourite, but he found a gap between runners and the son of Toronado burst through to run away with a dominant victory.
- On her racetrack return, the Anthony Cummings-trained Libertini (+1200) has stamped her claim to an Everest slot with a dominant win in the Group 2 Premiere Stakes. Although she went into the race without a slot in the big race, after beating the likes of Classique Legends (+150) and Nature Strip (+120) with relative ease, she appears certain to gain a start in the AU$10 million race. After settling mid-field, Regan Bayliss eased his four-year-old mare into clear air at the top of the home straight, before zooming straight past the leader Classique Legend in the final 100m, to run away with a two-length victory.
- The Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes-trained Brutal (+400) has claimed the Group 2 Premiere Stakes, defeating a game Home Of The Brave (+3000) and Classique Legend (+125). With only a five-horse field engaged for the race, Brutal sat on-speed before letting down with a strong turn of foot to claim the lead from Home Of The Brave with 150m to go. However, he had to fight all the way to the line, as the leader kicked back and Classique Legend flew home down the outside late to finish in the placings.
