Flit was a G1 winner before winning this race. Will the 2024 Silver Eagle (1300m) at Randwick on Saturday provide more quality?

2024 SILVER EAGLE - RACE HISTORY AND BACKGROUND

The Silver Eagle is a Group 3 race run under Set Weights and Penalty conditions for four year olds at Randwick conducted by the Australian Turf Club.

The Silver Eagle is run over 1300m. It was first run in 2019 and was won by The Inevitable.

The Silver Eagle is the forerunner to the Golden Eagle run two weeks later.

The winner, 2nd and 3rd in this race are exempt from ballot for that Golden Eagle each year.

The Silver Eagle was upgraded to Group 3 from 2024.

No horse has won both races.

James Cummings is the most successful trainer with two wins.

The Silver Eagle was worth $1,000,000 in 2024.

Notable winners of the Silver Eagle include Vienna Princess (2023), Vilana (2022), Aim (2021), Flit (2020) and The Inevitable (2019).

The 2023 Silver Eagle was won by Vienna Princess from Strait Acer and Pericles.
