Surround Stakes

Group One Betting Guide
Date: March 1, 2025
Location: Royal Randwick
Prize Money: $750,000
Distance: 1400m

The Group 1 Surround Stakes for three-year-old fillies over 1400m helps kickstart the blockbuster Sydney Autumn Carnival each year. The race is named after the 1976 Cox Plate winner, Surround, who is still to this day the only three-year-old filly to claim the converted weight-for-age title.

Held over 1400m at set weights, the Surround Stakes offers up a $750,000 in prize money to connections. Some of the names on the honour roll in recent times, such as Probabeel in 2020, Shoals in 2018 and More Joyous back in 2011, suggest the race has tendency to produce classy mares.

Having only become a Group 1 race in 2018, the Surround now holds a prominent place on the Sydney racing calendar.

Surround Stakes betting guide

The Group 1 Surround Stakes has often been a launching pad for fillies to go to more Group 1 success with the Vinery Stud Stakes, and the ATC Oaks all on the agendas of connections.

Finding the winner tends to be quite favourable for the punters with five of the last 13 winners saluting as favourites in the Surround Stakes.

The Group 2 Light Fingers Stakes at Randwick over 1200m a fortnight before has long be known as a strong form reference for the Sydney based gallopers heading to the Surround Stakes.

For runners from Victoria, coming out of the CS Hayes Stakes, The Vanity, or the Typhoon Tracy Stakes has seen success come from those races with many theories suggesting the fitness of the Victorian fillies giving them a slight advantage in the race.
