The Don Casboult Classic  – previously known as the Typhoon Tracy Stakes – is a Group 3 race for three-year-old fillies previously run Moonee Valley Racecourse on the Friday night before Blue Diamond Stakes Day each Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival in February.

In 2023 the event was moved to a Saturday in mid-March as a key support act to the then $5 million The All-Star Mile at The Valley.

In 2024 the race was renamed the Don Casboult Classic in honour of the former Moonee Valley Racing Club chairman and ran on the Saturday after the All-Star Mile as part of The Valley’s William Reid Stakes Day program.

A sprint race contested over 1200m at set weights plus penalties, the Don Casboult Classic (Typhoon Tracy Stakes) offers $200,000 in prize money. Fillies in the Typhoon Tracy Stakes field may come off an earlier autumn run and target later features including South Australia’s Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) at Morphettville in May.

One good lead-up race into the Typhoon Tracy Stakes is the Group 3 Kevin Hayes Stakes (1200m) run at Caulfield on CF Orr Stakes Day, and in 2015 Royal Snitzel ran second in both races. In 2018 Tulip improved on a lead-up fourth in the Kevin Hayes to win the Typhoon Tracy Stakes.

In 2023 the Typhoon Tracy Stakes form was franked with the runner-up Wee Nessy running second next-up in the Group 2 $1 million Arrowfield 3YO Sprint (1200m) in Sydney. The third placed Lady Laguna meanwhile ran third in the Arrowfield before returning in 2024 to dominate her summer – autumn campaign with a host of victories including in the $1 million Magic Millions Fillies & Mares race at the Gold Coast and Group 1 Canterbury Stakes (1300m).

The Typhoon Tracy Stakes 2024 ran on Saturday March 23, 2024 as the Don Casboult Classic on William Reid Stakes Day and was won by the Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr-trained Gumdrops ($7.50).

Stay tuned for our insider Typhoon Tracy Stakes 2024 Tips on the Group 3 The Valley event that this autumn is known as the Don Casboult Classic.

  • To Win: #10 Celestial Storm ($19 at time of publish) – BET NOW

An upset contender in the Don Casboult Classic (Typhoon Tracy Stakes) is Celestial Storm, currently priced around $20. In this open race, she represents an interesting value proposition. The Zoustar filly notched her third career win in her eleventh start at Moonee Valley last time out, dominating a BM64 field over 955m. While this is a significant step up in class, she has proven ability at the distance and the track. Additionally, she carries a lower weight than her last run and possesses the early speed to surprise at a good price.

Typhoon Tracy Stakes / Don Casboult Classic History

The Don Casboult Classic (Typhoon Tracy Stakes), conducted by the Moonee Valley Racing Club (MVRC), is one of the youngest Group races held in Melbourne having first run in 2011 when Miss Gai Flyer won the inaugural edition. It started out as a Listed race before gaining its current Group 3 status in 2014.

The race was formerly named in honour of former star mare Typhoon Tracy who won a host of Group 1 races including the CF Or Stakes – Futurity Stakes double, the Group 3 has been won by the likes of Norzita (2013) and Almighty Girl (2016). The 2016 Typhoon Tracy Results also saw two smart mares emerge with Secret Agenda (2nd) and Super Cash (3rd) going on to win bigger and better races.

The event was moved from February to March in 2023 to join the latest edition of the then $5 million The All-Star Mile race which returned to Moonee Valley having first run at the course in 2021.

The Typhoon Tracy Stakes was renamed the Don Casboult Classic in 2024 and moved to William Reid Stakes Day in late March.
