The Hawkesbury Crown is a race for fillies & mares only that can be a bit of a minefield for punters, although the set weights & penalties conditions tends to favour the better performed mares engaged.
A race such as the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes, on the second day of 'The Championships' at Randwick in Sydney, provides a good lead up race to the Hawkesbury Crown, while the upcoming Group 3 Dark Jewel Classic at Scone may be on the agenda for fillies & mares contesting this event.
Aerobatics (2014) finished runner-up in the Dark Jewel Classic following success in this race, with Daysie Doom (2nd in 2016) and Seaside (6th in 2014) going on to win the Dark Jewel Classic after running second & sixth respectively in this race.
Any capable fillies or mares may head to Queensland for the Brisbane winter racing carnival and Peace Force (2nd in 2015) took out the Group 3 Lady Of The Turf Stakes after a good second in the Hawkesbury Crown. Others may head south to Melbourne, such as Manicure (3rd in 2019), who went on to win the Group 2 How Now Stakes at Caulfield after finishing third in this race.
Irithea (2019) finished runner-up in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes over 1200m at Randwick before leading all the way to win this event in impressive style for trainer Bjorn Baker.
Recent Hawkesbury Crown winners include Pecans (2018) and Shillelagh (2017).
