The Mackinnon Stakes field faces off on the first Saturday in November on the closing Melbourne Cup Carnival meeting at Flemington Racecourse, four days after the famous Melbourne Cup.

Formerly known as the Emirates Stakes, the Mackinnon Stakes field runs over 2000m under weight-for-age conditions chasing a share in the $2 million prize money on offer in the classic.

Open to horses aged three-years-old and above, the Mackinnon Stakes field is released the Wednesday before the race each year following the Mackinnon Stakes nominations on the Monday.

Futures Mackinnon Stakes betting is often open at bookmakers around the country like Ladbrokes.com.au a few weeks out from Mackinnon Stakes Day.
