Looking for this year’s Frank Packer Plate betting markets, field and form? The experts at Neds have put together everything you need to know before this year’s race.
The Frank Packer Plate is a Group 3 race for three-year-olds run and won at Royal Randwick on All Aged Stakes Day in mid-April following on from the action of ‘The Championships’.
A key support act on the card, the event takes place over 2000m at set weights and offers $250,000 in prize money as of 2023.
First held in 1980 it gained Group 3 status in 1991 and is named after media tycoon Sir Douglas Frank Hewson Packer who spent 12 years as a committeeman of the Australian Jockey Club.
Might And Power (1997) is one of the best known Frank Packer Plate winners having gone on to win a host of Group 1 events including that year’s Caulfield Cup – Melbourne Cup double as well as the following year’s Cox Plate.
The Frank Packer Plate serves as a good potential lead-up into Brisbane’s Group 1 $1 million Queensland Derby (2400m) held at the end of May and Shootoff (2011) was the last horse to do the double.

Which Horse Will Win The Frank Packer Plate in 2024
The best way to pick which three-year-old will win the Frank Packer Plate in 2024 is to take into account their lead-up form from the autumn, assess the barriers and look for the proven Group performers in Sydney.
Additional factors to consider when picking the Frank Packer Plate winner include:
- ATC Derby Lead-Up: Any horses dropping in grade and distance off a run in the Group 1 Australian Derby (2400m) a fortnight earlier make a good bet in the Frank Packer Plate and The Chosen One (4th in 2019) was the last winner to come out of that race.
- Carbine Lead-Up: Sydney’s Carbine Club Stakes has proved the key lead-up with six horses doing the double including most recently He’s Our Rokkii (2016).
- Boys’ Club: Just seven fillies from 1980 have beaten home the boys including most recently Arabian Gold (2014) and Verona (2022).
- Waterhouse Factor: Gai Waterhouse has prepared a record six Frank Packer Plate winners with her latest being Fat Al (2012).
