Yalumba Stakes History

First raced in 1886 when Isonomy won the 9 furlong event, the Yalumba Stakes was originally named the Caulfield Stakes until 1997. The Yalumba Stakes became a Group 1 event in 1979 and has a record of wins by more mature horses. Only one three year old colt has managed to win the race, which was Mighty Kingdom in 1979. There is yet to be a three year old filly that can win the Yalumba Stakes.

Yalumba Stakes Records

Tranquil Star is the only mare to win the Yalumba Stakes and Cox Plate double in 1942. The Yalumba Stakes has been in three consecutive years by two horses, Eurythmic in 1920-1922 and Winfreux in 1964-1967. The fastest time recorded since 1975 was by Shaftsbury Avenue in 1991 with 1 minute 59.3 seconds. Rising Fast’s 1954 spring racing campaign is unmatched with wins in the Yalumba Stakes, Melbourne Cup, Turnbull Stakes, Mackinnon Stakes and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.
