The Chairman’s Stakes is a Group 3 race currently contested at Caulfield Racecourse in late January or early February during the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival.
The other key support act on the card is the Group 3 Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes (1300m) for mares.
Run over a short sprint distance of 1000m the Chairman’s Stakes is open only to two-year-olds and is contested under set weights plus penalties conditions. The event offers $200,000 in total prize money.
Youngsters may be kicking off their careers or autumn campaigns in the Chairman’s Stakes in Melbourne and the race serves as a good lead-up to the Group 1 $2 million Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m).
Extreme Choice (2016) was the last horse to complete the Chairman’s Stakes – Blue Diamond Stakes double, while the 2017 Chairman’s Stakes winning filly Formality went on to run third in the Blue Diamond Stakes trifecta behind stablemate Catchy that year.
The 2022 Chairman’s Stakes form was franked with the winner Sebonack going on to run fourth in that year’s Blue Diamond Stakes results.

Stay tuned for our insider Chairman’s Stakes 2024 Tips on the Melbourne showdown this season.
Tough call in this tightly contested Chairman’s Stakes field, but we’re staying loyal to the early favourite from the Moody/Coleman stable. This promising Exceed And Excel filly comes into her third career start in fine form, having already faced the boys last prep and won. Unlike most of the field, she boasts a previous victory at this very Caulfield track and distance in the Merson Cooper Stakes. While fresh from a break, her debut second-place finish in the Group 3 Ottawa Stakes at Flemington shows her class. Expect her to be in the thick of the action and a strong contender for another victory.
The Chairman’s Stakes field attracts a line-up of promising two-year-old sprinters each autumn, many heading towards a run in the season’s Blue Diamond Stakes field.
The official 2024 Chairman’s Stakes field and barriers are set for release on the Wednesday of race week and will be published in full below.
The Chairman’s Stakes 2024 final field features a smart line-up of promising two-year-olds including Merson Cooper Stakes winning filly Eneeza and the Matt Laurie-trained Debutant Stakes winning colt Coleman.

It was first run as the Chairman’s Stakes in 2010 – 2011 and again from 2013 to the present. It began as a Listed race and in 2014 gained its current Group 3 status. The race distance has also changed a number of times with the event always run between 1000 – 1200m depending on the racecourse. The Chairman’s Stakes has taken place at Sandown Racecourse and Caulfield Racecourse.
