The Yallambee Stud Classic is a Group 2 race for three-year-olds held annually on a Monday afternoon each March at Morphettville racecourse in Adelaide, South Australia during the Adelaide autumn racing carnival. The race is run over a distance of 1200 metres and run under set weight conditions with $200,000 in prizemoney. The 2011 Yallambee Stud Classic was won by Shrapnel from Happy Trails with General Truce third.
Taking place on the Labour Day holiday in South Australia, the Yalambee Stud Classic is held alongside the Gr2 Adelaide Cup.
The Yallambee Stud Classic is a handy group race for three-year-old sprinters that will generally attract the best available local 3yo talent and any interstate raiders looking for a slightly easier black type race. The level weights playing field gives the better class gallopers have a decided advantage.
Talented gallopers Show No Emotion (1998), Sword (1995), Euclase (1991) and Vitalic (1989) all won this race as a three-year-old.
Shrapnel (2011) ran unplaced in the listed Redelva Stakes over 1000m at this track prior to winning this race and recent Yallambee Stud Classic winners have been Majestic Music (2010) and Champagne Harmony (2009).
