History: First run in 1946 over 8 furlongs until 1972 when it changed to 1600m. The event is part of Ladies Day and is held on the Wednesday in the middle of the Caulfield Carnival between the Caulfield Guineas and the Caulfield Cup. Some of our top line female horses have come through this race. In 1949, the champion mare Chicquita came into this race after winning the Edward Manifold, she went on to win the V.R.C. Oaks at Flemington in Melbourne Cup week, creating a pattern that has been followed by many since. She had an excellent year following winning The Lloyd, Feehan and Craiglee Stakes, MacKinnon, St George and 2nd to Grey Boots in the Caulfield Cup before finishing the year by running second to Comic Court in the Melbourne Cup. There were obviously no hard feelings between them because Chicquita and Comic Court had a foal, Comicquita, who also had a good career including coming second to Even Stevens in the 1962 Melbourne Cup.
Past Winners: Chicquita 1949 (also won V.R.C. Oaks, Wakeful, Ed. Manifold same year and second in Caulfield & Melbourne Cups 1950), Wenona Girl 1960 (3rd Oaks, Wakeful, Sires Stakes), Alinghi 2004 (Blue Diamond Stakes, Edward Manifold, Newmarket 2005) Miss Finland 2006 (Oaks, 2nd Edward Manifold)
Time: Track record for 1600m Caulfield is 1:34.28 (Fields of Omagh)
Track Bias, Barriers: The 1600m start is at the beginning of the back straight giving all horses a chance to get ready for the first turn and another long straight brings the field up to the final turn into the straight. The rail is normally in the true position and Caulfield races fairly under these conditions, however statistics show that horses drawn inside barrier 8 have more wins than those drawn wide.
