Turnbull Stakes Form Guide
The Turnbull Stakes is a great form guide for the big spring carnival races. Punters have had great success betting on the winners of this race before the Cox Plate, Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cup.
Melbourne Cup-performed runners include Galilee, Let’s Elope, All Our Mob, Doriemus, Makybe Diva, Efficient, Zipping and Green Moon. The list never ends and it stands alone as the best Cups form guide for punters.
The Cox Plate is also a good form race for horses coming out of the Turnbull Stakes, with the likes of Winx using it as a warm-up run.
Sunline won the 1999 and 2000 Cox Plates before winning the Turnbull Stakes in 2001. She would later fail to win her third Cox Plate, but her Turnbull Stakes win was impressive.
Form coming into the Turnbull Stakes is often autumn form from Sydney and Melbourne.
Turnbull Stakes History
The Turnbull Stakes has been in existence since 1865, making it one of Australia’s oldest 2000m races.
Named after the Victorian Racing Club Chairman at the time Richard Turnbull, the Turnbull Stakes has since changed names on a few occasions but the old name was restored in 1948 when Beat Gem was victorious.
It has been taken out by some of Australia’s finest middle-distance thoroughbreds. Wakeful, Ajax, Rising Fast, Galilee, Sunline and Winx have all won, and we’re leaving out Vo Rogue, Let’s Elope and Naturalism.
It’s a form guide race, as we’ll discuss later, but the Turnbull Stakes is best known as a lead-in race to the bigger riches later in the carnival.
The Turnbull Stakes is a great race in its own right but most runners aren’t having their grand final that early in the spring. It’s used as a preparation for the Cox Plate, Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cup.
