The Group 1 Tancred Stakes is a 2400m race run at Rosehill Gardens and it headlines their last day of their carnival before The Championships begin at Royal Randwick.

A feature that's had many names due to fluctuating sponsorships, it was run as The BMW throughout the early 1990s and from 2002 to 2017, a name that's still familiar to racing fans for those reasons.
Dubai Honour is a $3.80 favourite with Betr to win the 2025 Tancred Stakes.
2025 Tancred Stakes
2025 Tancred Stakes Best Bet - Vauban
It's one of the more interesting Tancred Stakes that we've seen, where Dubai Honour clashes with the likes of Vauban, Arapaho and Duke De Sessa.
With an excellent Australian record, William Haggas has to be respected with Dubai Honour and his representative is two-from-two Down Under (both Group 1's).
The progression with Vauban will be a fascinating one second-up, as he should be more suited by the rise in distance here and he'll only strip fitter from the return.
The market wanted nothing to do with the sweaty import in the Sky High Stakes and despite settling at the rear in a small field, he's launched late to record a big win.
2025 Tancred Stakes Next Best Bet - Duke De Sessa
He'd burnt punters on multiple occasions prior to his Caulfield Cup victory, although Duke De Sessa had been building well ahead of that Group 1 attempt.
The six-year-old looks to have improved this prep, having returned with a 1600m triumph when giving weight to all rivals and he was then luckless second-up.
Duke De Sessa arguably should've won the Australian Cup Prelude, which was taken out by a well-backed stablemate (Middle Earth) who is an Australian Cup contender.
The likelihood of a wetter surface won't faze the Ciaron Maher-trained galloper and he has the tactical speed to enjoy a good run from a low draw.
2025 Tancred Stakes Value Bet - Zechariah
We've been with Zechariah at big prices in both Australian outings and after racing a little too keenly first-up, he improved for a third-place finish last start.
The gelding was in restricted room key stages of the Randwick City Stakes and the form through the race was franked with Alalcance bolting in at her next start.
This is a much tougher assignment, now he's at Group 1 WFA level vs some classier opposition, but there's still improvement to come with Zechariah.
That recent reference is being somewhat respected through Warmonger, who is under $15 in this market and Zechariah arguably performed better.
