Cocos (1898) was the inaugural Herbert Power Stakes winner when the event was first run as the Eclipse Stakes (1898-1919).

Each spring the Herbert Power Stakes winner is exempt from ballot for the next weekend’s Group 1 $5 million Caulfield Cup (2400m).

The Herbert Power Stakes – Caulfield Cup double has been achieved seven times in the same season:  Master O’Reilly (2007), Beer Street (1970), Rising Fast (1955), My Hero (1953), Poseidon (1906 and 1907), and Marvel Loch (1905).

Six horses have completed the Herbert Power Stakes – Melbourne Cup double in the same year: Rogan Josh (1999), Arwon (1978), Van Der Hum (1976), Gala Supreme (1973), Sirius (1944), and Poseidon (1906).

There were officially two Herbert Power Stakes winners in 1942 when the race was run in divisions.

Dual Herbert Power Stakes winners: Durham (1951, 952); Dashing Beau (1949, 1950); Royal Charter (1925, 1927); Easingwold (1923, 1924); Anna Carlovna (1913, 1914); Alawa (1908, 1909); Poseidon (1906, 1907); and the first two-time champion Wakeful (1902, 1903).

Sea Moon (2013) was the last Herbert Power Stakes winning mare.

Taisho (1929) was the last three-year-old Herbert Power Stakes winner.

The 2022 Herbert Power Stakes winner Saracen Knight saluted for the punters as the $4.20 favourite in betting but was not entered for the Caulfield Cup.

The 2023 Herbert Power Stakes winner was the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Newcastle Gold Cup champ Military Mission ($8) who improved on a lead-up fourth in Sydney’s Group 1 The Metrop behind stablemate Just Fine to win the Caulfield showdown off a gun ride by Joao Moreira ahead of a shot at the Melbourne Cup.

The 2024 Herbert Power Stakes winner was the Ciaron Maher-trained Herman Hesse ($16) who scored an upset by 1.25 lengths when running down the leader and his stablemate Okita Soushi ($41) to take out the Group 2 despite not being nominated for the Caulfield Cup.
