Bletchingly Stakes

Looking for early info on this year’s Bletchingly Stakes? The experts at Neds have put together everything you need to know before this year’s race.

Run over 1,200 metres, the Bletchingly Stakes is a Group 3 race taking place at Caulfield Racecourse. With a $200,000 prize purse as of 2022, it attracts its fair share of local sprinters. 

This race serves as an excellent lead up into the PB Lawrence Stakes and Shoot Out (2010) was the last horse to complete the Bletchingly Stakes – PB Lawrence Stakes double. 

The best out of the Bletchingly may continue onto a spring campaign in a race like the Group 1 Memsie Stakes (1400m), a double most recently achieved by Scales Of Justice (2019).
