The Chautauqua Stakes is a Listed sprint race currently contested at Moonee Valley Racecourse in early September on Moir Stakes Day having been moved back to its traditional place following a run in late October on Moonee Valley Gold Cup Night in 2023.
A popular Black-Type event held during the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival, the event takes place over 1200m and is a quality handicap showdown.
Offering $175,000 in prize money, the Chautauqua Stakes is registered as the Chandler Macleod Stakes and was renamed in 2021 in honour of three-time Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes champion, the ‘Grey Flash, Chautauqua.
The showdown previously served as a potential lead-up to the Group 1 $2 million Manikato Stakes (1200m) back at the track in October. In 2021 Bella Nipotina finished runner-up in both the Chautauqua Stakes and the Manikato Stakes results.
In 2023 the Chautauqua Stakes ran on the Friday night before the Manikato was held the next day as part of the Cox Plate Day program.
Since 2024, the race has run on Moir Stakes Day in early September.
