The Autumn Stakes was first inaugurated in 1968, with Anvil taking out the first edition. In 1980, the race was granted Group 3 status, but was later downgraded to listed status in 1991. In 2005, the Autumn Stakes was again elevated to Group 3, and then to Group 2 in 2008. It has been known variously as the Schweppes Cup, Schweppervescence Cup and D’Urban Stakes.
Considered a good form guide for the Australian Guineas, Light Fantastic (2008) was the last Autumn Stakes winner to back-up and win the Group 1. The Autumn Stakes has also produced other recent Australian Guineas winners including Heart Of Dreams (2009). In 2019 the Autumn Stakes winner Hawkshot went on to run second next-up in the Australian Guineas results.
Notable Autumn Stakes winners include Blaze The Turf (1998), Apache Cat (2006), Light Fantastic (2008), Pied A Terre (2012), and Microphone (2020).
