Hardwicke Stakes Betting Odds and Tips

The Hardwicke Stakes is a Group 2 race open to horses aged four years or older. It is run over a distance of just short of 1M 4F. The leading horses often return the following month to compete in the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth II over the same course and distance. Sir Michael Stoute is the leading trainer with 11 wins including Harbinger who was the last horse to complete the Hardwick/King George double in 2010.

First run in 1879, it takes a quality horse to win this with an adjusted RPR of 128 the minimum standard required since 2010 and most winners have been in the 130’s which points to a Group 1 performer.

Four of the last ten winners had run in a Group 1 last time and three of the others were coming off victory in a lower level Group race.

All but two of the last 15 winners were aged four and many had followed similar career paths to this point, with nine of them having competed the previous year in at least one of the St Leger, the Great Voltiguer Stakes at York or the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot.

A decent renewal of the newly named QE II Jubilee Stakes. Highfield Princess looks sure to go well as does last years third, the Australian trained Artorius but they may both have to play second fiddle to the Hong Kong trained Wellington who has some smart form in that part of the world and will be ridden by Ryan Moore and should get a nice tow into the race drawn alongside the front going Highfield Princess.

Hardwicke Stakes History & Past Winners

As well as Sir Michael Stoute doing so well we have Aidan O’Brien with four winners alongside Mark Johnston (whose license has passed to son Charlie) with the same amount although their most recent was in 2005 with Badari.

The market has been a good guide recently with 13 of the last 17 winners coming from the front three in the betting. Six of the seven successful favourites in that period were trained by Stoute or O’Brien.

Five out of the last ten winners won last time out whilst all ten of them were Group winners already.

Nine out of ten had won over the distance of 1M 4F whilst eight out of ten were aged four years of age.
