John F Feehan Stakes
Looking for this year’s John F Feehan Stakes betting odds, field and form guide? The experts at Neds have put together everything you need to know on the race.
Run over 1,600 metres the John F Feehan Stakes is a Group 2 race taking place at Moonee Valley Racecourse in September. The race was formerly known as the Dato’ Tan Chin Nam Stakes (2005-18) in honour of Malaysian racehorse owner Dato’ Tan Chin Nam who had a famous association with the iconic ‘Cups King’ Bart Cummings.
The event was formerly run in early September but in 2024 moved to late September to run under the lights at The Valley on Ladbrokes Manikato Stakes Night.
With a $500,000 prize purse after a stakes boost in 2021, the weight-for-age feature attracts a quality line-up of gallopers heading towards the Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) back at the track in October. Whobegotyou (2009) was the last horse to complete the John F Feehan Stakes – Cox Plate double.
Previously, horses may have backed-up out of the John F. Feehan Stakes in the Group 1 Underwood Stakes (1800m) at Caulfield, a double recently achieved by Bonneval (2017). More recently, dual Cox Plate place-getter Humidor won the John F. Feehan Stakes in his first run for Chris Waller before a second in that year’s Underwood Stakes results.
In 2024 the Feehan Stakes ran after the Underwood Stakes.
In 2021 the John F Feehan Stakes winner Superstorm continued on to run third in the Underwood Stakes and Toorak Handicap, then won the Cantala Stakes – now known as the Champions Mile – that spring.
