Sir John Monash Stakes
Looking for this year’s Sir John Monash Stakes betting odds, field and race form? The experts at Neds have put together everything you need to know before this year’s race.
Run over 1,100 metres, the Sir John Monash Stakes is a Group 3 race taking place at Caulfield Racecourse in early July each Melbourne Winter Racing Carnival. With a $200,000 prize purse, it attracts its fair share of local and interstate sprinters.
This race serves as an excellent lead up into the Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes (1200m) back at Caulfield a fortnight later and while a host of races have won both races over their careers, Rubitano (2002) was the last to do the Bletchingly – Sir John Monash Stakes double in the same year.
A weight-for-age-event, the Sir John Monash Stakes has been run and won since 1994 and some of the standout winners include dual champion Super Elegant (2004-05), Blue Diamond hero Reward For Effort (2010) and Voodoo Lad (2018).
