Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 2 Journalists Posted April 2 Odds Bookmakers News Field Past Winners P J Bell Stakes Group Three Betting Guide Date: Saturday, April 5, 2025 Location: Randwick Racecourse – Sydney, New South Wales Prize Money: $250,000 Distance: 1200m The PJ Bell Stakes is a Group 3 race for three-year-old fillies, run over 1200m at Royal Randwick under set weights with penalties. Conducted by the Australian Turf Club, the PJ Bell Stakes was first held in 1985 as the Analie Handicap, named after the Doncaster and Oaks-winning mare. In 1995, it was renamed to honour former AJC chairman PJ (Jim) Bell. The PJ Bell Stakes held Listed status until 2013 and was elevated to Group 3 level in 2014. It was briefly run at Canterbury (2011–2013) before returning to Randwick. The PJ Bell Stakes is now a key feature on Day 1 of The Championships and often serves as a launching pad for fillies targeting the Brisbane carnival. The 2024 PJ Bell Stakes, worth $250,000, was won by Facile, defeating Infancy and French Endeavour. Notable past winners include Dane Ripper, Private Steer, Ortensia, Red Tracer, Catkins, Politeness, Rubisaki, and Magic Time. 2025 P J Bell Stakes betting odds Facile grips on to claims the 2024 PJ Bell Stakes at Randwick.

Trained by Gerald Ryan and Sterling Alexiou, the daughter of Trapeze Artist jumped well and controlled the race from the front. Schiller rated her to perfection, easing through soft midrace sectionals before kicking clear in the final furlong to fend off the late challengers. The victory marked Schiller’s second stakes win of the day, having earlier partnered Celestial Legend to a memorable victory in the Group 1 Doncaster Mile. Well-supported runner Commemorative had little luck in running and was unable to get clear when it mattered, while Infancy charged late down the centre of the track under Dylan Gibbons to finish close up. But it was Facile who proved too tough, holding them all off to notch her second career win and secure black-type success. 2023: Magic Time keeps undefeated streak alive Magic Time returned in brilliant fashion to remain unbeaten, producing an electric finish to take out the Group 3 P J Bell Stakes (1200m). First-up, after a 147-day spell, the Grahame Begg-trained filly showed no signs of rust, handling the Heavy track with ease and confirming her class in her first run since winning the Listed Amanda Elliott Stakes in the spring. Ridden patiently by Jordan Childs, Magic Time settled behind the leaders and tracked Parisal throughout the run. As the pace quickened turning for home, Childs angled his mount into the clear and unleashed a powerful sprint to overhaul the leaders and win stylishly. Parisal, who had tracked a strong tempo set by stablemate Portray, was overhauled late but held on for second, while Lady Laguna boxed on bravely along the inside to claim third. Race favourite Opal Ridge ran home from the rear to finish fourth, doing enough to maintain the confidence of her supporters. 2022: Godolphin dominates with first four finish It was a bluewash in the final race at Randwick on Day 1 of the 2022 Championships as Godolphin runners filled the first four placings in the Group 3 P J Bell Stakes (1200m), a $200,000 feature for three-year-old fillies. With the market wide open at $6 the field, punters were unsure where to land heading into the event. Godolphin pair Heresy and Zapateo shared favouritism at $6, closely followed by A Very Fine Red ($6.50) and Me Me Lagarde ($8). In the end, it was Heresy who finished strongest, reeling in her stablemate Zapateo in the closing stages to claim the win. Arcaded took third, while Larkspur Run completed a clean sweep for the Godolphin team in a dominant showing from the powerhouse stable.
