Read our comprehensive list of winners of the race now run as the Lexus Archer Stakes – the race offering a Melbourne Cup ballot exemption to the winner.

View additional details of the Lexus Stakes winning horses from 2000 to the present including the winning jockeys, trainers and weights carried to victory.

Shocking (2009) was the last Lexus Stakes winner to continue on and win the famous Melbourne Cup race over the two miles at Flemington three days later.

Lexus Stakes / Melbourne Cup double winners: Shocking (2009),  Brew (2000),  Think Big (1974), Baystone (1958),  Foxzami (1949), Sirius (1944), Dark Felt (1943), White Nose (1931), King Ingoda (1922), and Nimblefoot (1870).

The 2022 Lexus Archer Stakes winner was the Chris Waller-trained odds-on favourite Surefire, who was not nominated for the Melbourne Cup, giving Waller and jockey James McDonald back-to-back wins in the event.

The 2023 Lexus Archer Stakes winner was the Kris Lees-trained Sydney visitor Kalapour ($4.80) who lead all-the-way to salute in an impressive up front ride from Damien Oliver.

The 2024 Lexus Archer Stakes winner was the Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained Point King ($4.60) who was given a perfectly timed ride by Jamie Kah to get up the middle and lead the closing stages before holding out the challengers to secure the Melbourne Cup ballot exemption for the $8.56 million feature on the first Tuesday of November.
