The All Aged Stakes is a is a classy sprint race held on the final day of the autumn carnival in Sydney under level weight conditions. The race usually attracts top quality horses and the 1400m distance of the event makes it an ideal step up from the Gr1 TJ Smith Stakes held earlier in the carnival at Randwick over 1200m under the same conditions.

Bentley Biscuit (2007) and Shamekha (2005) both scored the TJ Smith & All Aged Stakes double in recent times, while Hot Danish (2010) and Melito (2nd in 2010) reversed positions from the TJ Smith on their way to running one-two in the All Aged Stakes at their next start.
