Still on a Friday night – but not on the eve of Cox Plate Day, the famed Manikato Stakes sets to light up Moonee Valley with several horses still vying for an Everest slot on October 19.
First run as a Group 1 in 1989, the 1200m sprint around the bend and down the short straight has seen greats of the sport first past the post in this famous race – SUNLINE (2000), HAY LIST (2010) and CHAUTAUQUA (2015). The only horse to win the Golden Slipper and Manikato Stakes in the same year – SEPOY (2011).
MANIKATO STAKES – 1200m
· Last 5 winners have come from Barriers 1 – 5
· 4 of the last 6 winners have used the Moir Stakes in the lead up

The feature Group 1 race this Saturday in Sydney sees the 22nd running of the Golden Rose over 1400m at Rosehill on an unpredictable and most likely Heavy track.
In a race where favourites have not traditionally faired well, the Golden Rose has seen many horses starting in the second or third line of betting grab the win against their more fancied opponents – EPAULETTE (2012), TRAPEZE ARTIST (2017), THE AUTUMN SUN (2018) and MILITARIZE (2023).
