The 2018 Mackinnon Stakes, formally known as the Emirates Stakes, is a weight-for-age classic run the Saturday after the Melbourne Cup each November.
In 2016 the Mackinnon Stakes was renamed the Emirates Stakes and moved from Derby Day to Stakes Day during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
Held on Emirates Stakes Day or ‘Family Day’, the Emirates Stakes is the feature race on the final day of the four-day Melbourne Cup Carnival and shares the card with the Group 1 Darley Classic (1200m) for spring sprinters.
The Emirates Stakes is usually targeted by horses who have previously contested the Ladbrokes Cox Plate a fortnight before at The Valley. The Cox Plate – Emirates Stakes double is a popular punt with So You Think (2010) the last to do the double.
Held at Flemington Racecourse on the first Saturday of November, the Emirates Stakes is a 2000m weight for age race worth $2,000,000 in prize money.
The 2018 Mackinnon Stakes ran on Saturday November 10, 2018 .

Emirates Stakes / Mackinnon Stakes History
First run in 1869, the first winner of the Mackinnon Stakes was the famous racehorse Glencoe. Named after former VRC chairman L.K.S. Mackinnon, the event has seen many winners go on to win the Melbourne Cup including At Talaq in 1986, Empire Rose in 1998, Let’s Elope in 1991 and Rogan Josh in 1999.
The triple win was claimed by Wakeful after winning the Mackinnon Stakes three years in a row in 1901 to 1903. However plenty of horses have managed to win the race including Eurythmic in 1920-21, Phar Lap in 1930-31, Peter Pan in 1932, 34, Beau Vite in 1940-41, Tranquil Star in 1944-45, Comic Court in 1949-50, Rising Fast in 1954-55 and Belmura Lad in 1980-81.
The Emirates Stakes was originally known as the Mackinnon Stakes prior to being renamed in 2016.
