The Schillaci Stakes is a Group 2 sprint held at Caulfield Racecourse on Caulfield Guineas Day in October each spring.
The Schillaci Stakes is a quality Group 2 spring race held mid-way through the coveted Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival on Caulfield Guineas Day in October.
The Schillaci Stakes is a 1100m short-distance event run under weight-for-age conditions worth a lucrative $400,000 in total prize money. There are a number of other great lead-up races held earlier in the carnival that runners may have previously contested including the Group 2 McEwen Stakes (1000m) in early September and Sydney’s Group 2 Premiere Stakes (1200m).
Runners may also be coming back in class but rising in distance off a Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m) run under the lights at Moonee Valley a fortnight earlier.
The feature race at the meeting is the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) but there are three other elite level Melbourne races on the day including the Group 1 Caulfield Stakes (2000m), Group 1 Toorak Handicap (1600m) and the Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m). Other key support races on Caulfield Guineas Day include the Group 2 Herbert Power Stakes (2400m) for Melbourne Cup types and Group 3 Thoroughbred Club Stakes (1200m).
Horses that ran in the Schillaci Stakes will often continue their spring campaigns by competing in the sprint features including Flemington’s Group 1 VRC Sprint Classic (1200m) during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
The 2020 Schillaci Stakes runs on Saturday October 10, 2020 and was won by the Hawkes Racing-trained Dirty Work.

The Hawkes Racing-trained Dirty Work ($4.20) dug deep in a flashing late run to defeat the favourite Diamond Effort ($4) in the 2020 Schillaci Stakes results, but is unlikely to fill the final slot in Saturday week’s $15 million The Everest field.

The first Schillaci Stakes, originally known as the Chirnside Stakes, was run in 1970 when Regal Vista claimed victory. It began as a Principal race run over six furlongs but the race distance was converted to 1200m in 1973. In 1979 the event became a Group 2 race and for one year in 1986 the race was run over 1219m. A few years later in 1988 the distance was permanently decreased to its current length of 1000m. The race name was changed to the Schillaci Stakes in 2000 in honour of the former champion sprinter Schillaci.
In 2019 the Schillaci Stakes winner Trekking secured the ‘win and you’re in’ slot to represent the MRC / ATC in the following weekend’s The Everest and eventually ran third to the young Chris Waller-trained winner Yes Yes Yes.
