Notes:
An asterisk after the odds means Nitrogen was the post-time favourite.

  1. ^ The Wonder Again Stakes was originally scheduled for 1+1⁄16 miles on the Inner turf course but was moved to the dirt track due to the rain affected track. Consequently, the event was downgraded to Grade III
  2. ^ The winner Fionn set a new track record for the 1+1⁄8 miles distance
