Picking the winning VRC Champions Stakes Quinella during the Melbourne Cup Carnival involves predicting the first two horses over the line in the Flemington weight-for-age feature (formerly known as the Mackinnon Stakes)  – in any order – on the Saturday after the Melbourne Cup in early to mid November.

For those who are entirely new to exotic horse racing bets, in a quinella you simply need to pick the top two finishers regardless of their finishing order. Most other exotic bets – like the Champions Stakes Exacta – require you to be specific about the finishing order, but not in a quinella.

Betting on the 2023 Champions Stakes quinella is available at Ladbrokes.com.au during the 2023 Melbourne Cup Carnival.

An example of a winning Champions Stakes Quinella from 2023:

• 2nd: #9 Duais

Note that this would have won regardless of which of those horses came first.
