    Ciaron Maher\u2019s Vase \u2013 VRC Derby champ from the spring,\u00a0Observer ($4EF)<\/strong>, kicked off his autumn with a bang easily accounting for his rivals to salute as the equal favourite fresh in the\u00a02026 Autumn Stakes results\u00a0<\/strong>at Caulfield. Despite the 1400m being short of his best, the star three-year-old was emphatic with Ethan Brown in the saddle putting 1.25 lengths on the line over the Caulfield Guineas runner-up Planet Red to shoot to the top of all-in Australian Guineas betting.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Run over 1,400 metres each year in February at Caulfield Racecourse, the Autumn Stakes is a Group 2 race with a $300,000 prize purse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Open to three-year-olds and run at set weights plus penalties, the Autumn Stakes serves as a key lead-up to the autumn’s Group 1 mile races for this age group including Flemington’s Australian Guineas<\/a> held the following month at HQ. Light Fantastic (2008) was the last to complete the Autumn Stakes – Australian Guineas double<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The 2024 Autumn Stakes also produced that year\u2019s Australian Guineas winner with the runner-up Southport Tycoon going one better next start in the Group 1 at Flemington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2025, Observer won the Autumn Stakes first-up as the reigning Victoria Derby<\/a> champion from the spring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
