Registered as the Hotham Handicap and currently run as the Lexus Archer Stakes, the Lexus Stakes is a Group 3 race now taking place on Makybe Diva Stakes Day at Flemington in mid-September. The Lexus Stakes previously took place on VRC Derby Day at Flemington on the opening day of the coveted Melbourne Cup Carnival before moving to a much earlier position in 2024.
The quality handicap runs over 2500m and the winner of this race gains exemption from the Melbourne Cup on the first Tuesday of November. Shocking (2009) was the last horse to complete the Lexus Stakes – Melbourne Cup double when the events were held only three days apart.
Internationals have a strong recent record in the race including the 2020 win by Ashrun.
