The John F. Feehan Stakes is a Group 2 event held at Moonee Valley Racecourse in September as a qualifier for the $5 million Cox Plate.
The John F. Feehan Stakes – formerly the Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes named after the great horse owner Dato Tan Chin Nam – is one of the major lead up-races in the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.
Held in early September the 1600m mile event is a weight-for-age race that offers $500,000 in prize money. Run at Moonee Valley Racecourse the race has produced a number of Cox Plate winners in recent years including Northerly (1st in 2001), Makybe Diva (2nd in 2005), and El Segundo (1st in 2007).
Officially registered as the John F. Feehan Stakes, the winner of the event now earns a ballot exemption for the Group 1 $5 million Ladbrokes Cox Plate (2040) run back at the track in late October.
The race also serves as a nice lead-up into Caulfield’s Group 1 Underwood Stakes (1800m). In 2018 Homesman improved on a John F. Feehan Stakes second to win the Underwood Stakes and, later, place second in that year’s Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m). Homesman returned in 2019 and won the John F. Feehan first-up before a second in the Underwood.
In 2020 the John F. Feehan Stakes winner, dual Cox Plate place-getter Humidor, went on to run second in that year’s Underwood Stakes results and third in the Group 1 Caulfield Stakes.
The 2021 John F Feehan Stakes form was franked with the winner Superstorm going on to finish third in both the Underwood Stakes and Toorak Handicap before winning the Cantala Stakes – now known as the Champions Mile – that spring.
The 2022 John F Feehan Stakes winner Mr Brightside franked the form the following autumn winning the $5 million The All-Star Mile before a successful title defence in the Group 1 Doncaster Mile in 2023.
The John F. Feehan Stakes 2023 ran on Saturday September 9, 2023 and was won in style by the impressive Enver Jusufovic-trained Pinstriped ($8).

Mr Brightside ($1.65 in 2022) was the last favourite in Feehan Stakes betting to win.
Stay tuned for our insider John F Feehan Stakes 2023 Tips on the important Cox Plate lead-up this September.
A number of spring cup hopefuls kick off here and will only take improvement over further, but for a horse that will relish the mile second-up with the fitness edge Tuvalu is hard to go past. Lindsey Smith’s Group 1 Toorak Handicap (1600m) winner from last spring chases his first victory since and has form around the likes of Alligator Blood. He had a luckless two-start autumn, but showed improvement fresh this time in running an eye-catching fourth only two lengths off the winner Mr Brightside in the Group 2 P.B. Lawrence Stakes (1400m). That form was franked last weekend with Mr Brightside going on to win the Group 1 Memsie Stakes, and think it can be further franked by Tuvalu here.
The official John F. Feehan Stakes 2023 Field & Barriers are announced by Racing Victoria on the Wednesday leading-up to the event, the full list of potential Cox Plate horses to be published below.
The 2023 Feehan Stakes final field features a quality line-up of Group 1-bound spring hopefuls including Toorak Handicap winner Tuvalu with the form around Mr Brightside and the current favourite Globe who is undefeated chasing a fifth career win here up in grade.

First run in 1948 and won by Phoibos the event was originally known as the JF Feehan Stakes for many years until 2005 when it was changed to the Dato’ Tan Chin Nam Stakes. The race name has since been changed and is officially registered as the John F. Feehan Stakes. In 2019 it ran as the Ladbrokes Feehan Stakes due to sponsorship purposes.
Run as an 8 furlong race until 1971 and a principal race until 1978, the event has also been a guide to the Bletchingly Stakes, JJ Liston Stakes, Mackinnon Stakes, Melbourne Cup and Caulfield Cup.
Won by Lawman in 1981-82, Lad of the Manor repeated this dual success in 2005-06 however the greatest winner of the race was Shorengro which won in three consecutive years from 1968 to 1970.
In 2020 dual Cox Plate place-getter Humidor won first-up for the first time in his career as an eight-year-old when debuting for trainer Chris Waller of Winx fame.
