The Railway Stakes (also known as the Sistema Railway Stakes) takes place at the Ellerslie Racecourse in Auckland, New Zealand on New Year's Day every year.

The race, which started all the way back in 1890, is a sprint race that is run on a 1,200 metre turf track. The race is open to thoroughbreds, 3 years and older.

The purse for the event is substantial, as it is currently set at $200,000 NZD.

There have been some pretty massive underdogs win this race over the past decade - Jacowils came in at a 104-1 underdog in 2009, and Miss Raggedy Ann won after being a 86-1 underdog in 2011.

Santa Monica is the reigning and defending champion - prior to that, the winners included Volpe Veloce, Start Wondering, Ryan Mark and In Style.
