First staged in 1902 and won by San Toy, the Karrakatta Plate is Western Australia’s premier juvenile event and was a Group 1 race until it was downgraded in 1999. Originally run over five furlongs, the Karrakatta Plate adopted its current distance in 1980 and has shifted between pre and post-New Year scheduling throughout its history. The 2024 Karrakatta Plate, worth $500,000, was won by Bustling, defeating Earthstorm and Blue Rocket. The Karrakatta Plate has been a launchpad for top-class careers, with recent stars including Amelia’s Jewel (2022), who went on to Group 1 glory in the Northerly Stakes. Other notable Karrakatta Plate winners include Whispering Brook, Redwoldt, Bomber Bill, Alabama Whirly, Umah, Jacks Or Better, Umatilla, and Burgess Queen. 2025 Karrakatta Plate betting odds 2022 Karrakatta Plate winner, Amelia’s Jewel.

Trained by Dan Morton, who made it back-to-back wins in the race after Super Smink in 2023, the son of Frosted was sent out an odds-on favourite and delivered in style. Ridden by Blake Shinn, Bustling led throughout and dashed clear with minimal urging to win by 4.25 lengths over Earthstorm, with Blue Rocket finishing a close third. The dominant display marked Bustling as a star in the making and gave Morton his third Karrakatta success. 2023: Super Smink finishes best Super Smink capped a stellar juvenile campaign with a brilliant victory in the Group 2 Karrakatta Plate (1200m) at Ascot, continuing the season-long dominance of fillies in Perth’s two-year-old ranks. Trained by Dan Morton, the daughter of Super One unleashed a powerful finish from the rear of the field to reel in the in-form Live To Tell, who was chasing a stakes treble. The pair cleared out from their rivals, putting three lengths on Ripcord, the best of the boys in third. It was a defining win for Super Smink, confirming her as the standout filly in the west. 2022: Amelia’s Jewel justifies favouritism Amelia’s Jewel announced herself as a potential star with a stunning performance in the Group 2 Karrakatta Plate (1200m) at Ascot. Trained by Simon Miller, the two-year-old filly overcame a wide draw and an unfavourable track pattern to deliver a dominant three-length win as the $1.80 favourite. Settling third last from barrier 15, jockey Pat Carberry bided his time before unleashing a powerful run in the straight. Baby Paris finished second, with Penny On The Queen in third.

Especially if races with the optimal conditions for that horse are limited or few and far between.   The hardest part in my opinion is getting their attitude right and placing them!  The conditioning is the easy part.

Yes but you probably know the source of the carrots!  Would your risk giving them to a horse that was a few days out from a race?

Might run up to their established ability again but rarely improve on that imo.

Name three.
