The Quezette Stakes is a Group 3 sprint for three-year-old fillies run at Caulfield Racecourse that serves as a lead-up to the Coolmore Stud Stakes.
The Quezette Stakes is a Group 3 race for three-year-old fillies run at Caulfield Racecourse in mid-August.
The Quezette Stakes field is restricted to three year old fillies, the majority of which are kicking off their Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival campaigns. Run under set weights with penalties, the Quezette Stakes gives punters a nice early guide to tougher upcoming race for the young fillies including Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) in October or for young sprinters the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) at Flemington over the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
Sunlight (2018) was the last filly to complete the Quezette Stakes – Coolmore Stud Stakes double. Sunlight would also go onto win the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap – William Reid Stakes sprint double in 2019 over the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival.
The Quezette Stakes draws many nice young fillies, some with Group 1 form from their two-year-old seasons in races like the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) held at Caulfield each February or even Rosehill’s iconic Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) in March. In 2018 the Quezette Stakes winner Sunlight had run third in that season’s Golden Slipper Stakes.
Offering $200,000 in total prize money as of 2021 the race is a good early kick-off for fillies chasing Black-Type as three-year-olds.
The Quezette Stakes is run on P.B. Lawrence Stakes Day alongside the weight-for-age Group 2 PB Lawrence Stakes (1400m) and the Group 3 Vain Stakes (1100m). The Vain Stakes is essentially the colts and geldings counterpart to the Quezette Stakes, run under the same conditions across the same distance for the same prize money.
Following success in the Quezette Stakes, some fillies might go on to race in the HDF McNeil Stakes or the Thousand Guineas Prelude.
The Quezette Stakes 2023 took place on Saturday August 19, 2023 on P.B. Lawrence Stakes Day and was won first-up by now two-time Group 3 winner Charm Stone ($4F).

Stay tuned for our insider Quezette Stakes 2023 Tips on the important early spring lead-up for fillies.
Plenty of winning hopes in an open edition of the Quezette but at double-figures think the in-form Shesallshenanigans up in grade represents a nice bit of value. The Simon Zahra-trained daughter of Toronado is drawn mid-field in gate seven chasing her third win on the trot. Two back she saluted in the VOBIS Gold Rush (1000m) at Bendigo by over four lengths. She franked that form with another win, this time over the six furlongs at Sandown Lakeside in the lucrative $1 million VOBIS Showdown. That was an equally impressive 3.25 length effort, and she is deserving of her shot at Black-Type here. Distance is a non-issue and based on recent form she is looking overs.
The official Quezette Stakes 2023 final field and barriers are announced on the Wednesday leading-up to PB Lawrence Stakes Day and will be published in full below.
The Quezette Stakes field draws a class line-up of fillies and has been won by some very nice types over the years. The 2016 Quezette Stakes winner I Am A Star went on to win the Group 1 Myer Classic (1600m) (now Empire Rose Stakes) over the older mares that Cup Carnival.
The 2023 Quezette Stakes final field features a bumper line-up three-year-old fillies led in betting by Group 3 winner Charm Stone who is first-up here.
