The Light Fingers Stakes is a Group 2 race held at Royal Randwick Racecourse in Sydney every February worth $200,000.
Run over a distance of 1200m, the Light Fingers Stakes is open to three-year-old fillies and is contested with set weights. On the same race day the equivalent race for colts and geldings is the Group 2 Royal Sovereign Stakes.
The race is named in honour of New Zealand bred mare Light Fingers who won the Melbourne Cup in 1965 and was the first Cup winner for legendary trainer Bart Cummings.
The Light Fingers Stakes takes place on the same race day as three other group races: the Group 2 Breeders’ Classic (1200m), the Group 2 Royal Sovereign Stakes (1200m) and the Group 3 Southern Cross Stakes (1200m).
The Light Fingers Stakes 2012 will be run on Saturday February 18th, 2012.
