The 2021 Chatham Stakes is now held on Mackinnon Stakes Day on the Saturday after Melbourne Cup Day on the first Tuesday of November.

An open handicap race, the Chatham Stakes was originally run the Saturday before on Victoria Derby Day but was moved from the 2016 Melbourne Cup Carnival to VRC Oaks Day and then to its current Mackinnon Stakes date.

The Group 3 race is contested over 1400m offering $200,000 in total prizemoney.

The Chatham Stakes shares the Flemington card with two elite level features: the Group 1 $2 million Mackinnon Stakes (2000m) for Cox Plate graduates and the Group 1 $1.5 million Darley Sprint Classic (1200m) held down the iconic ‘Straight Six’ at HQ.

The Chatham Stakes is often used as a lead up event to later races such as the Group 3 Sandown Stakes (1500m), a race the 2017 Chatham Stakes winner Hellova Street finished second in. Many Chatham Stakes winners go on to bigger and better things the following year including the 2018 winner Dreamforce who subsequently enjoyed placings in the 2019 George Ryder Stakes (3rd) to Winx, 2019 Doncaster Mile (2nd) and 2019 George Main Stakes (2nd).

Good lead-up races into the Chatham Stakes include the Group 3 Moonga Stakes (1400m) on Caulfield Cup Day or even Flemington’s Group 2 Salinger Stakes (1200m) run on Derby Day.

The 2021 Chatham Stakes was held on Saturday November 6, 2021 and won by Age Of Chivalry at $10.

Chatham Stakes History

Inaugurated in 1986, the Chatham Stakes is fairly young in comparison to a lot of Flemington races.

The race is named after Chatham, Australian Racing Hall of Fame inductee and renowned miler. Chatham had considerable pedigree, with a Melbourne Cup winner (Windbag) for a sire and the granddaughter of an English Triple Crown winner (Flying Fox) for a dam (Myosotis). Chatham won the 1932 and 1934 Cox Plate, as well as two Epsom Handicaps and a few Craven Plates, among other major wins.

The Chatham Stakes is one of those races that is often run under a sponsor name. Throughout the years, the Chatham Stakes has been known variously as the Hong Kong Jockey Club Plate, the AAMI International, the Yallambee Stud Stakes, the AAMI Business Insurance Stakes and the Tab.com.au Stakes.

In 1997, the Chatham Stakes was briefly run over 1417 metres.

Notable Chatham Stakes winners include Avannotto (1986), Bezeal Bay (1998), Scenic Park (2001), Fawkner (2012) and Dreamforce (2018). Chatham Stakes results, winners and winning times since 2000 are provided below.
