Re-named in honour of former chairman of the Moonee Valley Racing Club Mr Bill Stutt, the Group 2 Stutt Stakes is held at the Moonee Valley Racecourse in late September as part of the Moir Stakes Night program on a Friday evening.

Worth $200,000 in prize money, the set weights race is open to all three year old horses. Colts and geldings must carry 55.5kg, while fillies are required to carry 53.5kg. Run over a mile distance, the Bill Stutt Stakes in held two weeks before the Group 1 Ladbrokes Caulfield Guineas (1600m), but Whobegotyou (2008) was the last to do the double. More recently, the 2017 Caulfield Guineas winner Mighty Boss also came out of the Stutt Stakes having run fourth in the Group 2.

Held on the Moir Stakes Night, the event is the first 1600m race for three year olds in the spring carnival and is run alongside the Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m), Group 2 Stocks Stakes (1600m) and Group 3 JRA Cup (2040m).

This year’s Stutt Stakes 2019 ran on Friday September 27, 2019 and was won by progressive Tavistock colt The Holy One.
