Ethereal Stakes odds have Miss Waititi as the favourite in what should be a cracking contest on Caulfield Cup Day. MISS WAITITI (2) put the writing on the wall with a big win at Flemington last start, and that\u2019s the best form guide for this race. The 3YO filly won by 2.5 lengths, running away from the field, and that was an excellent first test over distance. It came over 1800m, and she looks like handling the 2000m distance better than most horses&hellip;<\/div>\n            <span class='read-more slide-text-color'>Read More<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n   \n  <\/a>\n<\/article>            <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neds.com.au\/betting-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ethereal-stakes-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Ethereal Stakes, Caulfield\" class=\"wp-image-1363\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Run over 2,000 metres, the Ethereal Stakes is a Group 3 race taking place at Caulfield Racecourse each October as part of the popular Caulfield Cup Day card. With a $240,000 prize purse, the Ethereal Stakes is contested at set weights plus penalties and is open only to three-year-old fillies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event is named in honour of the 2001 Caulfield Cup &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neds.com.au\/blog\/betting-info\/melbourne-cup\/\">Melbourne Cup<\/a> double champion mare Ethereal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This race serves as a good lead up for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neds.com.au\/blog\/betting-info\/wakeful-stakes\/\">Wakeful Stakes <\/a>and then the Group 1 VRC Oaks (2500m) held at Flemington on the first Thursday of November. Pinot (2017) was the last filly to complete the <strong>Ethereal Stakes &#8211; VRC Oaks double<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2018 Ethereal Stakes winner Verry Elleegant would go on to have a glittering career that includes, to date, four subsequent Group 1 victories.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2021 Ethereal Stakes runner-up Glint Of Hope franked the form winning the Group 1 Australasian Oaks (2000m) in Adelaide the following autumn. Biscayne Bay meanwhile was third in both the 2021 Ethereal Stakes and VRC Oaks results that season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2025, After Summer boosted the Ethereal Stakes form by progressing from a third-place finish in the race to another third in the VRC Oaks. The filly continued her rise the following autumn, finishing runner-up in the Vinery Stud Stakes and third in the 2026 ATC Oaks, highlighting the strength of the Ethereal Stakes as a key Oaks lead-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading minor-header minor-header--alt\">Ethereal Stakes 2026 &#8211; Quick Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Race Day:<\/b> Saturday, October 17, 2026<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Track Location:<\/b> Caulfield Racecourse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Track Surface:<\/b> Turf<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Track Direction:<\/b> Left-handed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Race Distance:<\/b> 2,000 metres<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Weight Conditions:<\/b> Set weights (plus penalties)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Qualification:<\/b> Three-year-olds (fillies only)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Type:<\/b> Thoroughbred<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Grade:<\/b> Group 3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Prize Purse:<\/b> $200,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Inaugural Race:<\/b> 2000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2026 Ethereal Stakes Winner:<\/strong> <strong>Quick Finish <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading minor-header minor-header--alt\">Ethereal Stakes Betting 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many different ways to <strong>bet on the Ethereal Stakes<\/strong>, and we have included some of the most popular options below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table table--boxed table--highlight-c1\"><table><thead><tr><th>Bet Type<\/th><th>How to Place This Type of Bet on This Year&#8217;s Ethereal Stakes<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Win Bet<\/td><td>Place your bet on the horse you think will take first place in this year&#8217;s Ethereal Stakes.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Place Bet<\/td><td>Place your bet on the horse you think will place in the top three finishers at this year&#8217;s Ethereal Stakes.
