First held in 1979 by the Sydney Turf Club, the Skyline Stakes named after 1958 Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) and Group 1 AJC Derby (2400m) winner Skyline. Initially a Listed race in 1980, the Skyline Stakes was upgraded to Group 3 in 1987 and Group 2 in 2012. The Skyline Stakes grants ballot exemption for the Golden Slipper. Five horses have won both the Skyline and Golden Slipper, though none since Dance Hero in 2004. The 2024 Skyline Stakes, worth $300,000, was won by Storm Boy, defeating Prost and Duvana. 2025 Skyline Stakes betting odds Storm Boy justified his favouritism to claim the Group 2 Skyline Stakes.

Many of them will open an early market so you can wager on the race a week or so in advance. Unlike many of the bigger races the acceptances are only done a few days before the Skyline Stakes so you won’t find a futures market weeks in advance, like major Group 1 races like the Melbourne Cup and Cox Plate. Aussie bookies like Dabble offer all of the usual bet types on the Skyline Stakes and you will have the option of using ‘boosted odds’ at some of them. This simply means you place your win bet and use the boosted odds option, which could send a $10 shot out to $15. This provides great value and is as good a reason as any to bet online for the Skyline Stakes. Neds Code GETON 1 Take It To The Neds Level Neds Only orange bookie!

The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained galloper was a little slow away from the barriers, but James McDonald gave the son of Justify a dig in the ribs, and he quickly found the front. Although he was sent around as odds-on favourite with online bookmakers, Storm Boy did more than enough to suggest that he will be at his peak in the Golden Slipper, when he will be second-up for the campaign. Making up ground from midfield was the stable mate Prost ($12.00), who ran home nicely into third place, while Duvana ($19.00) from the Waller stable stuck on well for third. However, as many expected, all the honours went to the winner, as he won by an official margin of 1.38 lengths on the line. 2023: Corniche overhauls rivals Godolphin unleashed Golden Slipper contender after Corniche proved too strong for his rivals in the Skyline Stakes at Randwick. The James Cummings-trained colt was given an exceptional ride by Brenton Avdulla, finding the one-one position throughout to stalk the moderate tempo over the 1200m contest. From there he was able to storm clear of the boys to score an impressive win by 1.5 lengths on the winning post. He was well found late in the market with online bookmakers as the Godolphin colt firmed into $7 with his form behind Blue Diamond hopeful, Barber, jumping off the page for punters. 2022: Promitto causes upset David Atkins’ unbeaten colt Promitto proved too strong at the end of the 2022 Group 2 Skyline Stakes at Randwick, defeating Rise Of The Masses and Jemeldi in fine style. The son of Divine Prophet romped in on debut at Newcastle over 900m, and that was enough for Atkins to have a throw at the stumps at Group 2 level. Starting a $15 chance, Promitto was given a brilliant ride by Christian Reith, before letting down strongly in the concluding stages to set out after the leaders strongly.
