    Big Sky ($1.60F)\u00a0<\/strong>delivered exactly what punters were hoping for in the\u00a02026 Chairman\u2019s Stakes results<\/strong>\u00a0at Caulfield, producing a dominant three-length win that confirmed his status as one of the country\u2019s most exciting emerging talents. The Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr-prepared Bivouac colt bounced straight to the front under Ben Melham, showing his trademark early speed before cruising through the run and putting the race away with ease in the straight, eased down well before the line. The performance only strengthened the buzz created by his sharp Flemington debut and propelled him straight to the top of early Blue Diamond Stakes markets, with the stable adamant there\u2019s still plenty of improvement to come as he continues to develop.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Run over 1,000 metres in late January or early February at Caulfield Racecourse (Sandown Lakeside in 2025) in Melbourne, the Chairman’s Stakes is short-distance sprint offering $200,000 and open only to juvenile horses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Starting out as a Listed Race, this race was upgraded to Group 3 in 2014. The race serves as a key lead-up into the Group 1 $2 million Blue Diamond Stakes <\/a>(1200m) held in late February and Extreme Choice (2016) was the last two-year-old to do the double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It has previously been held at both Caulfield and Sandown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
