Tibbie Stakes

The 2016 Tibbie Stakes is a Group 3 sprinting event hosted by the Newcastle Jockey Club at Broadmeadow Racecourse.

Raced over 1400m and restricted to fillies and mares, the Tibbie Stakes is a great sprinting challenge, particularly under set weights plus penalties conditions. With $125,000 prize money, this is a fairly lucrative country race.

Punters look to the Tibbie Stakes for form guidance leading into the remainder of the Spring Racing Carnival. It is not unusual for top fillies and mares to travel to Newcastle to include the Tibbie Stakes in their spring campaign. In fact, it is common for black-type winning horses from Sydney and elsewhere to make the journey to the two-day Newcastle Racing Carnival.

The Tibbie Stakes is one of five black type races held during the annual Newcastle Racing Carnival in September. The Tibbie Stakes is run on Newcastle Cup Day, which features the Group 3 Newcastle Gold Cup (2300m). The day before boasts two Group 3 events; the Cameron Handicap (1500m) and the Spring Stakes (1600m), as well as the Listed Hannan’s Handicap.

Horses generally tend to target the Tibbie Stakes as part of a broader spring campaign. As a result, you’ll often see mares and fillies travelling out of their way to mix it with the locals in search of an additional black-type victory. The Group 3 Sheraco Stakes (1200m) is often contested by a few of the same horses who hit the Tibbie Stakes. Following success in the Tibbie Stakes, horses may seek to challenge the Group 3 Angst Stakes (1600m) at Rosehill.

The race is registered as the Tibbie Plate and was known as that until the upgrade to a listed event in 2005. The Tibbie Stakes has had a decent history of entertaining racing and great punting opportunities. The Tibbie Stakes was upgraded to Group 3 status in 2013 as part of the resurgence of Newcastle horse racing. It was inaugurated in 1990.
