2025 Kewney Stakes Tips
Stay tuned for our insider Kewney Stakes 2025 Tips on the Newmarket Handicap Day Group 2 event this autumn.
- To Win: #1 Treasurethe Moment ($1.75 at time of publish) – BET NOW
A number of progressive runners in the Kewney but happy to stick with the odds-on filly Treasurethe Moment who is zero value but looking all but a sure thing here off her smart run of wins. First-up she made it five consecutive victories with Matt Laurie’s classy daughter of Alabama Express an impressive one-length Group 2 Angus Armanasco Stakes winner to kick off her autumn. Considering that was over 1400m and she went out a Group 1 VRC Oaks champ at Flemington over 2500m, she looks the goods! Improves off that, two-from-two at Headquarters so far, and will be even better getting a mile second-up now. Damian Lane retains the ride and she drops from 59.5kg, which she carried without a worry, to 56kg at set weights. Should bolt home.
2025 Kewney Stakes Field
The Kewney Stakes field attracts a nice line-up of quality Group performed three-year-old fillies coming out of earlier autumn lead-ups run under similar conditions including the Angus Armanasco Stakes on Blue Diamond Stakes Day.
Fillies may even drop down in grade off a Group 1 start in a race like the Oakleigh Plate (1100m) as they rise in distance.
The official 2025 Kewney Stakes field and barriers are released on the Wednesday of race week and will be published in full below.
The Kewney Stakes 2025 final field features a class line-up of fillies led by VRC Oaks champ Treasurethe Moment who comes off an impressive first-up Group 2 Angus Armanasco Stakes win with more weight.

Kewney Stakes History
First won by Great Field in 1952, the A.V. Kewney Stakes has featured several superb fillies including 1999 winner Sunline from New Zealand. Sunline was the highest earning female racehorse of her time amassing over $11 million in prize money.
The Kewney Stakes was traditionally run over 2000m before being cut to a mile (1600m) from 1985 – 2009 and then the current 1400m distance from 2010 onwards. After kicking off as a Principle Race, the event gained Group 2 status in 1979 and took place at Caulfield Racecourse for one year in 2007 as Flemington underwent an upgrade.
Notable recent Kewney Stakes winners include Solicit (2014), I Am A Star (2017), subsequent Group 1 ATC Oaks winner Autumn Angel (2024), and the reigning VRC Oaks champion filly Treasurethe Moment (2025).
