Recent Standish Handicap winners

  • 2023: Snapper makes every post a winner
    The 2023 edition of the Standish Handicap saw Snapper Power make every post a winner, with an outstanding front-running ride from hoop Jye McNeil. On his first Saturday back after a stint in Hong Kong racing, McNeil was able to return in style. There were plenty of admirers for the well-backed Snapper ($5), who was able to jump cleanly from barrier eight, before leading towards the near-side running rail of the Flemington straight. Snapper managed to hold off the fast-finishing Rose Quartz ($4), who just ran out of time chasing down the leader, who had got some cheap sectionals earlier in the race.
  • 2022: Halvorsen picks up second Standish
    Following a decent spell and a different training routines, Halvorsen ($7.50) returned to winning ways in the 2022 Standish Handicap. Having won the race in 2020, Jamie Kah piloted the Robbie Girffiths & Matthew de Kock-trained veteran to feature success. Despite giving race favourite It’sourtime ($3.40) a 2kg advantage, Halvorsen managed to build through his gears perfectly to blouse the favourite in the shadows of the winning post, with The Astrologist ($5) back in third. The win handed Jamie Kah her second straight win in the Standish Handicap, having steered Sirius Suspect to victory 12 months prior.
  • 2021: Sirius Statement runs rivals ragged
    Having placed in three of his last four starts at Stakes level, the Saab Hasan-trained Sirius Suspect broke his duck when leading throughout in the 2021 Standish Handicap. Ridden perfectly by Jamie Kah, the Flemington specialist managed to hold out his rivals when it mattered most, and in doing so handed trainer Saab Hasan his first stakes winner since Shoreham won the Group 3 Easter Cup in 2018.
  • 2020: Halvorsen continues to relish Flemington straight
    Queensland-based Andrew Mallyon returned to Flemington to ride Halvorsen in the 2020 Standish Handicap, and the flight was well worth it, as the Robbie Griffiths-trained sprinter continues his strong affiliation with the Flemington straight. Having won his previous two starts at the track, Halvorsen made no mistake in the Standish, when getting the better of $3 race favourite Bold Star.
