Location: Caulfield Racecourse – Melbourne, Victoria
Prize Money: $200,000

The Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes, a Group 3 race for mares aged four and up, is conducted by the Melbourne Racing Club.

The race covers 1200m under set weights and penalties conditions. In 2025, it offers $200,000 in prize money.

Previously known as the Hyderabad Race Club Plate, it was renamed in 2012, then changed from a Listed race, to Group 3 status in 2007.

Initially known as the Hyderabad Race Club Plate, it was changed from Listed to Group 3 status in 2007, and renamed in 2012.

Silent Sedition’s narrow defeat in 2017 preceded an outstanding campaign, featuring wins and close finishes in several top-tier races, including a Group 1 victory in the William Reid Stakes.

Probabeel used her 2021 Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes win as a springboard to the Futurity Stakes and claimed back-to-back victories in 2021 and 2022.

Notable winners of this race include Skewiff (2003), Glamour Puss (2005), Coniston Gem (2007), Velocitea (2010), Beaded (2011), Tycoon Tara (2015), Prussian Vixen (2017/2018), and dual winner Probabeel.

The 2024 edition of the Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes saw Vagrant triumph over Penthouse and Party For One.

2024 Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes result



1stVagrant (+450)
2ndPenthouse (+100)
3rdParty For One (+130)

Recent runnings of the Geoffrey Belmaine Stakes:

  • 2024: Vagrant overhauls rivals
    Mitchell Freedman and Beau Mertens combined with classy mare Vagrant ($6.00), who flew home from the back of the field to claim the Group 3 Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes. After jumping a little slow from barrier two, Mertens allowed the daughter of Pariah to settle and get into a rhythm three back on the rail, while Penthouse ($5.50) set a solid tempo out in front. As the field rounded the home turn, it appeared as though Jordan Childs had pinched a winning gap on Penthouse as the rest of her rivals started to struggle but Mertens was picking them off along the rail and making solid ground. Once Vagrant was given full bore and got clear, she finished off with a blistering turn of foot and put the race to bed within a few strides and defeated Penthouse and Party For One ($9.00) to claim a valuable black type victory for her connections.
  • 2023: Wrote To Arataki lives up to favourite tag
    Jamie Kah and Matthew Williams combined with Wrote To Arataki in the Group 3 Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes at Sandown, as the four-year-old mare led every step of the 1300m. As the day went on Wrote To Arataki shortened as each race went by, jumping as a $3.10 favourite with online bookmakers, as the punters were quick to work out that the soft Sandown Hillside track was favouring leaders and on-speed runners. This daughter of Wrote has now recorded back-to-back wins in town and her first black type victory, after Kah piloted her to success at Flemington in a Benchmark 70 Handicap on New Year’s Day. Wrote To Arataki has gone from winning her maiden at Warrnambool to winning a Group 3 at Sandown, all within the last 12 months.
  • 2022: Probabeel defends crown
    Star New Zealand mare Probabeel snatched her second consecutive win in the Group 3 Bellmaine Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield. The champion five-year-old was sent out as a $1.75 favourite in the final race of the day, and although she got the job done for punters, it was far from an easy watch. Trained by Jamie Richards, the daughter of Savabeel was having her first run for the autumn, before she looks to make it back-to-back Futurity Stakes (1400m) in a fortnight. In just a seven-horse field, jockey Brett Prebble settled the $4 million earner in the second half of the field, before producing her to the extreme outside at the top of the straight. Mariamia gave a strong kick at the furlong to give her chasers a mammoth task, but such is Probabeel’s fighting qualities, she knuckled down and got her head in front right where it counts – the winning post.
  • 2021: Probabeel displays all her star qualities
    Probabeel is on target to fly the Kiwi flag in the Group 1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) and the $5 million All-Star Mile (1600m) after proving a class above her rivals in the 2021 Group 3 Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield. The multiple Group One winner carried 60kgs in the mares race and travelled wide throughout from the outside barrier before forging clear in the straight under jockey Damian Lane.
