The Autumn Stakes is a Group 2 event worth over $300,000 hosted each year in February at Caulfield Racecourse*.
*In 2023 the 2023 Autumn Stakes and C.F. Orr Stakes Day card ran at Ladbrokes Park Hillside, Sandown.
Open to three year olds only and run under set weights plus penalties conditions, the Autumn Stakes presents an exciting early autumn challenge for the strongest three year old gallopers heading towards races like the Group 1 Australian Guineas (1600m) the following month. Light Fantastic (2008) was the last three-year-old to complete the Autumn Stakes – Australian Guineas double.
The Autumn Stakes also now serves as an early lead-up into the Special Conditions $5 million All-Star Mile (1600m) held at various racetracks around Melbourne in March.
Forming a central part of the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival, the Autumn Stakes is held on CF Orr Stakes Day and is one of a host of Group status races on the Caulfield card at the meeting.
The other key CF Orr Stakes Day feature races are the:
- Group 1 CF Orr Stakes (1400m)
- Group 2 Rubiton Stakes (1100m)
- Group 2 Blue Diamond Prelude (F) (1100m)
- Group 3 Blue Diamond Prelude (C&G) (1100m)
- Group 3 TS Carlyon Cup (1600m)
- Group 3 Kevin Hayes Stakes (1200m)
Another potential target for the Autumn Stakes graduates is a trip to Sydney for the Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m), a race the 2020 Autumn Stakes winner Microphone ran second in.
The Autumn Stakes 2023 ran on Saturday February 11, 2023 at Ladbrokes Park Hillside, Sandown and was won in an upset by the David Pfieffer-trained grey Glint Of Silver ($11).

Autumn Stakes History
The Autumn Stakes was first inaugurated in 1968, with Anvil taking out the first edition. In 1980, the race was granted Group 3 status, but was later downgraded to listed status in 1991. In 2005, the Autumn Stakes was again elevated to Group 3, and then to Group 2 in 2008. It has been known variously as the Schweppes Cup, Schweppervescence Cup and D’Urban Stakes.
Considered a good form guide for the Australian Guineas, Light Fantastic (2008) was the last Autumn Stakes winner to back-up and win the Group 1. The Autumn Stakes has also produced other recent Australian Guineas winners including Heart Of Dreams (2009). In 2019 the Autumn Stakes winner Hawkshot went on to run second next-up in the Australian Guineas results.
Notable Autumn Stakes winners include Blaze The Turf (1998), Apache Cat (2006), Light Fantastic (2008), Pied A Terre (2012) and Microphone (2020). Autumn Stakes results since 2000 are listed below.
