Auraria Stakes

The 2017 Auraria Stakes is a Listed event held each year in either the end of April or the first part of May, Hosted at Morphettville Racecourse in Adelaide the race attracts the best three year old fillies from across South Australia.

It’s run over a trip of 1800m under the conditions of set weight and penalties. Prize money for the Auraria Stakes totals $120,000.

The Auraria Stakes is also a crucial support race to the Group 2 Adelaide Cup held on the same program.

Due to a sponsorship arrangement the Auraria Stakes has also been known as the Schweppervescence Stakes in previous years.

Being a middle distance race for fillies the obvious progression from this race would be to either the Group 1 Australasian Stakes over 2000m or the Group 2 Queen Of The South Stakes over the mile.

Given the promise of a Group 1 in the weeks following some interstate runners may come across and use the Auraria Stakes as a lead in race.

Previous winners of the race include Yvonne in 2003, Moment In Time in 2008 and Shylight in 2011.
