Held at Caulfield Racecourse in late August or early September, the Group 1 Memsie Stakes 2017 is a weight-for-age race which offers $1 million in prize money. The 1400m event is held as the first Group 1 of the new racing season and is a great lead up race to the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) run a fortnight later over the mile at Flemington. Dissident (2014) was the last horse to complete the Memsie Stakes – Makybe Diva Stakes double.

Raced on the same day as the Group 3 H.D.F. McNeil Stakes (1200m), the Group 3 The Heath 1100 Stakes (1100m) and the Group 3 W.W. Cockram Stakes (1200m), the Memsie Stakes has produced some outstanding Cox Plate winners including El Segundo (2006), Makybe Diva (2005), Sunline (2001-01) and Dane Ripper (1998).

The Memsie Stakes odds is now the first Group 1 race of the racing year after it was elevated from Group 2 status for the 2013/2014 season.

The 2017 Memsie Stakes is set to take place at Caulfield on Saturday September 2, 2017.

Memsie Stakes History

First won by Veneda in 1899, the Memsie Stakes has had several multiple winners of the race including the four time race champion Lord from 1958-61. Eurythmic (1920-22) and Ajax (1038-40) have won the race three consecutive times each while there have been several double winners including Heroic (1925-26), Waltzing Lily (1933-34), Comic Court (1949-50), Coppice (1954-55), Yangtze (1965-66) and Sunline (2000-01).

The fastest winning time was recorded in 1998 by Dane Ripper with a finishing time of 1 minute 22.8 seconds. The slowest time was recorded by Red Tempo in 1983 with 1 minute 31.4 seconds. In 2015 Boban won the Memsie Stakes in what would turn out to be the last victory of his career before retirement.
