History

Distance

† Originally the race was scheduled to be run on the Beaumont Track. Due to the configuration of the racetrack the starting distance of the race was reduced. Race meeting was abandoned due to being unsafe for racing after prolonged rain and the race was rescheduled as the tenth race in the race card on Golden Slipper Stakes Day at Rosehill Racecourse.
