How To Bet on the Tramway Stakes
The 2019 edition of the Tramway Stakes is set to take place in early September at the Randwick Racecourse in Sydney, Australia.
This is a City Tattersals Club Group 2 Thoroughbred horse race that is only open to horses that are three years and older. Weights and penalties are also used in this race.
The purse for this race is substantial - in 2018, a total of $200,000 Australian dollars was paid out in total. The race is run on a 1,400 metre turf course.
The inaugural Tramway Stakes was held in 1886, with Burrilda prevailing in the first ever running of the race.
There have been a few multiple time winners of this race, though it is fairly rare due to the use of weights and penalties.
The most recent winner of the event was Comin' Through in 2018, and that was preceded by wins by Happy Clapper, Hauraki and Hooked.
Since 2013, this race has been held at Randwick, and since 2002, the distance of the race has been set at 1,400 metres.
