Coolmore Stud Stakes Betting Odds

At $3.40, Traffic Warden leads the 2024 Coolmore Stud Stakes market, although Growing Empire ($3.50) is fighting for favouritism.

The Ciaron Maher-trained colt has had a longer campaign than Traffic Warden, having completed four starts this prep and he's back against his own age group here after placing in both the Manikato Stakes and The Everest.

Growing Empire won four races in a row after a second on debut and the last of those triumphs was recorded up the Flemington straight.

Chris Waller is searching for his sixth Coolmore Stud Stakes winner and he did prepare the Coolmore-owned Home Affairs (2021) via his last victory in this three-year-old feature.

Coolmore and Waller combine with Switzerland ($5), a colt who won his first three starts as a two-year-old and the son of Snitzel bounced back to winning form last start when taking out the Group 2 Roman Consul Stakes at Rosehill.

Coolmore Stud Stakes History

Originally run for two-year-old juveniles, the Coolmore Stud Stakes became a three-year-old feature in 1969. 

It was previously held on Australian Cup day in earlier in the year but the Victoria Racing Club moved the race to the opening day of the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

The Coolmore Stud Stakes was given Group 1 status in 2006 when Gold Edition was victorious and since then it has become a must-win race for any early stud prospects. 

Unfortunately the race has meant that winners are sometimes retired very early in their careers to begin life as a sire.

Zoustar and Sepoy are two examples of this and there'll be plenty more going into the future.
