Robert Sangster Stakes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Robert Sangster Stakes is a Group 1 Australian thoroughbred horse race held under set weight conditions, for fillies and mares aged 3 years old and upwards, over a distance of 1200m.
The race is conducted by the South Australian Jockey Club and run at the Morphettville Racecourse.
In 2005 the race was re-named the ‘Robert Sangster Stakes’ after prolific owner and breeder Robert Sangster who died in 2004.
Robert Sangster was the principal of Swettenham Stud and the re-naming recognises his contribution to Australian thoroughbred industry.
