The $750,000 Oakleigh Plate is a Group 1 short-distance sprint run on Blue Diamond Stakes Day in late February.
The Group 1 Oakleigh Plate is held during the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival and is traditionally run at Caulfield Racecourse at the end of February each year. Raced over a short distance of 1100m, runners in the Oakleigh Plate field normally arrive via the Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning Stakes (1100m) and the Australia Stakes (1200m) if they are not resuming in the Blue Diamond Stakes Day sprint.
As an open handicap race, the Oakleigh Plate attracts some of the strongest and fastest horse from around the country to win the $750,000 in prize money. Many of the best horses in this race will go on to race in the slightly longer Group 1 Newmarket Handicap (1200m) down the Flemington straight the following month.
The Oakleigh Plate is held alongside the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) and Group 1 Futurity Stakes (1400m). Recent winners of the Oakleigh Plate – Newmarket Handicap double include Lankan Rupee (2014) and Weekend Hussler (2008).
The 2023 Oakleigh Plate form was franked with the winner Uncommon James going on to run second next-up in Sydney’s The Galaxy. He also returned in the spring and finished third in both the Moir and Manikato Stakes at The Valley.
The Oakleigh Plate runner-up from 2023, Lofty Strike, meanwhile was second in the Newmarket as well at his next run.
The Oakleigh Plate 2024 ran on Saturday February 24, 2024 at Caulfield Racecourse on Blue Diamond Stakes Day and was won in a narrow upset by Shane & Cassie Oxlande’s South Australian raider Queman ($17).

The Oakleigh Plate promises an intriguing clash of speedsters, and we’re going for an upset with Sghirripa. This talented four-year-old from South Australia boasts several compelling factors that could see him pull off a surprise. He’s in red-hot form, winning four of his last five starts. His most recent victory, a dominating three-length romp in the Flemington Gr. 3 Standish Handicap, highlighted his class and raw speed. He handles fresh runs well, having been strategically kept fresh for this toughest test yet. His recent impressive winning trial further underlines his readiness. While the wide draw presents a challenge, he’s a proven distance specialist and has been steadily working his way through the grades. Sure, he needs to answer some questions stepping up in class, but his current form, proven ability, and dedicated preparation make him a deserving contender with the potential to shock the field.
Each autumn the Oakleigh Plate Final Field attracts a star-studded line-up of short distance specialists, many of which are resuming off spring races or that kicked things off at Flemington the week prior in the Lightning Stakes over 1000m.
The 2024 Oakleigh Plate field will be provided here as soon as released by Racing Victoria on the Wednesday before the race.
