Group Two Betting Guide

| Distance: | 2100m |
The Ted Van Heemst Stakes is a Group 2 race that is held at Ascot Racecourse for horses aged three-years-old and older, run under weight-for-age conditions.
Since the inaugural running of the Ted Van Heemst Stakes in 1914 (when it was known as the Grandstand Plate), the race has been run over 2400m most years, but was shortened to 2100m from 2008 onwards.
The shortening of the Ted Van Heemst Stakes race distance was due to the Perth Cup coming back in distance to 2400m, so the 2100m distance would set up as an ideal lead up race.
Five horses have won the Ted Van Heemst Stakes multiple times, with Regal Power (2019 & 2021) recently joining Old Cobber (1997 & 1999), Gay Balkan (1939 & 1940), Maple (1927 & 1928) and Eracre (1925 & 1926).
Notable winners of the Ted Van Heemst Stakes include: Marocchino (2022), Regal Power (2019 & 2021), Truly Great (2020), Pounamu (2017), Elite Belle (2014), Ihtsahymn (2013), God Has Spoken (2011), Old Cobber (1997 & 1999), Gay Balkan (1939 & 1940), Hyperion (1935), Maple (1927 & 1928), Eracre (1925 & 1926) and Eurythmic (1920).

Recent Ted Van Heemst Stakes results
- Daniel Morton & Shaun O’Donnell have combined with In Good Order ($7.50) to claim victory in the Group 2 Ted Van Heemst Stakes (2100m) at Ascot, being rewarded for an ultra-consistent campaign. The son of American Pharoah was lining up for his ninth run of the preparation on Saturday and having his first crack at Group-level company after finding the minor money in the Listed G.A Towton Stakes (2200m) on December 7. He got the perfect run in transit this time around as O’Donnell found the one-one throughout as the well-supported favourite with horse bookmakers, Socks Nation ($2.50), was sent forward to sit outside the leader, leaving the rank outsider Marocchino ($31.00) to lead them out at a moderate tempo. Numerian ($2.70) got every chance under Clint Johnston-Porter and looked to be doing best in the concluding stages before a wall of horse mounted a late challenge. In Good Order went straight on by in the final furlong, with Let’s Galahvant ($10.00) reeling in the margin, missing by a half-had as In Good Order fell in to secure the $300,000 prize.
- In the $300,000 Group 2 Ted Van Heemst Stakes at Ascot, defending champion Marocchino engaged in an early speed duel with Zouman, creating the perfect setup for Numerian to claim victory. Jockey Troy Turner, determined to secure the lead on Marocchino, faced competition from Rachel King on Zouman. Meanwhile, Clint Johnston-Porter positioned Numerian in an ideal stalking spot. The daring tactics seemed promising for Marocchino as he surged ahead on the straight, but Zouman’s attempt to veer off the track interfered with Numerian. Once balanced, Numerian, trained by Annabel Neasham, showcased his strength, overtaking Marocchino by two lengths to secure the win, with Casino Seventeen finishing third.
- Marocchino (+550) from the Lou Luciani stable has led every step of the way in the Group 2 Ted Van Heemst Stakes, picking himself up off the canvas to claim his maiden Group 2 success. After jumping well, Troy Turner pushed forward and found the front ahead of Trap For Fools (+3000), Ironclad (+290) and Steinem (+120). With very little change throughout the 2100m contest, Marocchino got away with some cheap sectionals mid-race, which forced John Allen on Steinem to make a move at the 600m mark. As the field rounded the home turn, Allen and Turner went for their mounts and even though Steinem headed the leader, Marocchino kicked back to score by a long-neck.
- Regal Power capped his comeback campaign in style with an effortless victory in the Group 2 Ted Van Heemst Stakes. Fresh from his win in the Group 1 Kingston Town Classic, Regal Power justified the long odds-on quote of -500 to claim his second Ted Van Heemst. Jockey Patrick Carbery made a sweeping move out wide from near last to hit the lead early in the straight and Regal Power shot clear to score by 1.75 lengths. Platoon (+1800) ran on strongly for second ahead of Cockney Crew (+1900), who held on for third.
- The Grant & Alana Williams-trained star Truly Great has more than justified his -222.22 quote, after destroying his rivals in the Group 2 Ted Van Heemst Stakes. The son of Dundeel made it six wins from his last seven starts with the easy victory, as he defeated Trap For Fools (+270) by 1.75 lengths with Platoon (+1100) a further half-length back in third. William Pike settled the five-year-old gelding in the middle of the pack, before peeling out wide to make his run at the top of the home straight. Once Pike pushed the button, Truly Great took over at 150m mark and careered away to win in dominant style.
- Regal Power continued his Perth Summer Carnival dominance by claiming the Group 2 Ted Van Heemst Stakes to go along with his Group 1 Railway Stakes victories two starts prior. The son of Pierro was sent around at -153.85, and for his followers, there was never a worry, as William Pike settled the favourite on the outside of runners and had a clear running the entire trip. As Spiritual Warrior (+4000) and Gatting (+320) started to struggle at the front, Pike released the brakes slightly and Regal Power ran straight past them at the 300m mark and was eased down with 100m to go, recording an effortless 2.3-length victory.
