BJ McLachlan Stakes News
The 2019 BJ McLachlan Stakes is a Group 3 sprint run at Eagle Farm Racecourse in Brisbane over the summer in late December on Vo Rogue Plate Day.
Held under set weights conditions, the BJ McLachlan Stakes is restricted to two year old runners. Horses race over 1200m seeking a share of $250,000 prize money making it one of the most lucrative Brisbane Summer Racing features.
The BJ McLachlan Stakes shares a race program with a host of other Black-Type races including the: Listed $200,000 Bernborough Handicap (1600m) for milers and the Group 3 $300,000 Vo Rogue Plate (1300m) for three-year-olds.
The Listed Phelan Ready Stakes and Calaway Gal Stakes serve as a nice lead-up into the BJ McLachlan Stakes field. Ours To Keep (2016) was the last youngster to complete the Phelan Ready – BJ McLachlan Stakes double.
Many of the young horses use the BJ McLachlan Stakes as preparation for the Magic Millions Carnival in January at the Gold Coast Racecourse about a week later where they run in the lucrative $2 million Restricted Listed Magic Millions 2YO Classic (1200m). Unencumbered (2013) was the last BJ McLachlan Stakes winner to back-up and win the Magic Millions 2YO Classic (2014) next start.
The 2019 BJ McLachlan Stakes ran on Saturday December 28, 2019 and was won by the Peter & Paul Snowden-trained King’s Legacy.
