The Schillaci Stakes is a Group 2 sprint held at Caulfield Racecourse on Caulfield Guineas Day in October each spring.
The Schillaci Stakes is a quality Group 2 spring race held mid-way through the coveted Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival on Caulfield Guineas Day in October.
The Schillaci Stakes is a 1100m short-distance event run under weight-for-age conditions worth a lucrative $300,000 in total prize money. There are a number of other great lead-up races held earlier in the carnival that runners may have previously contested including the Group 2 McEwen Stakes (1000m) in early September and Sydney’s Group 2 Premiere Stakes (1200m).
Runners may also be coming back in class but rising in distance off a Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m) run under the lights at Moonee Valley a fortnight earlier. Paulele (6th in 2022) and Asfoora (2nd in 2023) are the latest Moir Stakes graduates to win the Schillaci Stakes.
The feature race at the meeting is the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) but there are two other elite level Melbourne races on the day including the Group 1 Caulfield Stakes (2000m) – currently called the Neds Might And Power – and the Group 1 Toorak Handicap (1600m). Other key support races on Caulfield Guineas Day include the Group 2 Herbert Power Stakes (2400m), the Group 3 Northwood Plume Stakes (1200m), and the Group 3 Ladies’ Day Vase (1600m).
Horses that ran in the Schillaci Stakes will often continue their spring campaigns by competing in the sprint features including Flemington’s Group 1 VRC Sprint Classic (1200m) – now run as the Champions Sprint – during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
A potential next-up option for Schillaci Stakes graduates is the Group 1 Manikato Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley with the 2020 Schillaci winner Dirty work running third in that sprint showdown under the lights.
The 2021 Schillaci Stakes form was franked with the third-placed mare Bella Nipotina going on to run second next-up in the Manikato Stakes and third in the VRC Sprint Classic behind Nature Strip.
The 2022 Schillaci Stakes winner Paulele franked the form later that year heading to Perth to win the Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) that November.
The 2023 Schillaci Stakes ran on Saturday October 14, 2023 at Caulfield on Guineas Day and was won in a brilliant sprint performance by Henry Dwyer’s classy mare Asfoora ($2.10F) who saluted for the punters at the short price by a dominant three lengths.

Small field gathered for this year’s Schillaci and is hard to go past the deserving favourite Asfoora. This Henry Dwyer-trained Flying Artie mare has a host of Group 1 form from the autumn including her third here in the Oakleigh Plate. Fourth in Sydney’s The Galaxy followed by a trip to Perth where she placed fourth again this time under a length beaten in the inaugural $4 million The Quokka. Winner of that race contests Saturday’s $20 million The Everest in Sydney. Asfoora has had two good runs this prep so is third-up and fit now. Won the Group 3 The Heath at this track and trip fresh before a second when brave at The Valley in the Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m). Back to 1100m, back to Caulfield, back in grade and she wins.

The first Schillaci Stakes, originally known as the Chirnside Stakes, was run in 1970 when Regal Vista claimed victory. It began as a Principal race run over six furlongs but the race distance was converted to 1200m in 1973. In 1979 the event became a Group 2 race and for one year in 1986 the race was run over 1219m. A few years later in 1988 the distance was permanently decreased to its current length of 1000m. The race name was changed to the Schillaci Stakes in 2000 in honour of the former champion sprinter Schillaci.
In 2019 the Schillaci Stakes winner Trekking secured the ‘win and you’re in’ slot to represent the MRC / ATC in the following weekend’s The Everest and eventually ran third to the young Chris Waller-trained winner Yes Yes Yes.
