History: First run in 1968 the race was known as the Freeway Stakes but after Manikato’s second win 1982 it was renamed for him in 1984. It began as a listed Race, became Group 2 in 1979 and has been group 1 since 1989. In 2009 the meeting was moved to the Friday night before the AFL Grand Final and also became a qualifying race for the American Breeders Cup.
Past Champion Winners: Vain (1969), Manikato (1979 & 1982), Strawberry Road (1983), Rubiton (1987), Dane Ripper (1998), Redoute’s Choice (1999), Sunline (2000), Miss Andretti (2006), Gold Edition (2007).
Lead Up Form: In recent times the McEwen Stakes has become one of the best form races for the Manikato, Sydney form races include the Missile Stakes, Concorde Stakes and Premiere Stakes. Many horses are resume their Spring Carnival campaign in the Manikato.
Time: Track record for the 1200m at Moonee Valley is 1:09.29 (Miss Andretti in this race 2006.)
Track Bias, Barriers: The Manikato Stakes meeting usually marks the return of night racing to Melbourne in the warmer months. The rail is usually True or out a few metres and there is little bias evident although racing on pace is always an advantage at this course.
Weight & Statistics: a showcase for Australia's top sprinters, winners often go on to contest other top races during the Spring Carnival including the Cox Plate. Sex of the horse and the weight carried are of less importance, the key is simply to be the fastest.
