The Coolmore Stud Classic is a race for fillies and mares only that is only of only two Group 1 races to take place for females during the Sydney autumn carnival, the other being Queen Of The Turf Stakes, which is held on Golden Slipper Stakes day at the same track.
This race attracts the best fillies & mares available and is always a hotly contested affair with plenty of quality gallopers assembled. The Classic is a handicap event, which theoretically puts the females on equal terms and makes for an exciting race with no real standouts, unless there happens to be an outstanding filly or mare entered.
Some classy females have won the Coolmore, including Typhoon Tracy (2009), Tuesday Joy (2007) and the mighty mare Sunline twice in 2000 & 2002.
Casino Rose (1999) was the last galloper to win both the Coolmore Stud Classic & Queen of The Turf Stakes in the same year, while the most recent to go close was Regal Cheer (2006), who finished runner-up in the Queen of The Turf Stakes after winning this event.
Alverta (2010) won the Gr2 Breeders Classic at Randwick and then finishing second in the listed Wenona Stakes before provong too good in this event. Recent winners of the Coolmore Stud Classic have been Typhoon Tracy (2009) and Eskimo Queen (2008).

2010 Coolmore Stud Stakes: Alverta used her good draw to advantage to sit on the pace all the way before running to the lead around the 200m mark and bursting away in the run home to score a top win. Gold Water raced up on the pace and kicked clear in the straight, before eventually being overtaken Alverta in the final 200 metres and she stuck on gamely to finish a clear second. Palacio De Cristal missed the start and was always near last before coming from an impossible position rounding the turn to unleash a brilliant finish to get third.
