The Group 3 Ladbrokes Moonga Stakes is a 1400m sprint held at Caulfield Racecourse during the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.
Held under set weights plus penalties conditions, the Moonga Stakes is a race for horses aged four years and older.
The Moonga Stakes is held on one of the biggest race days of the year, Caulfield Cup Day. This is the third day of the three day Caulfield Cup Carnival, which begins a week before with Ladbrokes Caulfield Guineas Day, continues on Wednesday with Blue Sapphire Stakes Day and ends on Caulfield Cup Day.
Sharing the race schedule with the Moonga Stakes are a host of other Black-Type features. These include the Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m), Group 2 Caulfield Sprint (1000m), Group 2 Tristarc Stakes (1400m) and the Group 3 Ladbrokes Caulfield Classic.
Horses contesting the Ladbrokes Moonga Stakes field may come off a lead-up run in a race like the Group 2 Blazer Stakes (1400m) for mares at Flemington a fortnight earlier or the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m) run three weeks prior. In 2016 Voodoo Lad improved on a lead-up second in the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes before winning the Moonga Stakes. The 2019 Moonga Stakes winner Streets Of Avalon ran fourth in the Sir Rupert with an unplaced Toorak Handicap (11th) run in between that and his Group 3 success on Caulfield Cup Day.
The Ladbrokes Moonga Stakes 2019 ran on Saturday October 19, 2019 and was won by Streets Of Avalon.

Streets Of Avalon was able to bounce back to winning form after some tough runs in Group 1 company, the galloper relishing the drop in grade and distance to dominate the Ladbrokes Moonga Stakes 2019 results. Trainer Shane Nichols hinted at two more Group races over the spring in Melbourne before looking at an international campaign in Dubai in 2020 for the Moonga Stakes winner.
