The 2017 Chatham Stakes – run in 2017 as the TCL TV Stakes – is now held on VRC Oaks Day on the Thursday after Melbourne Cup Day on the first Tuesday of November.

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

The Group 3 race is open to horses aged three years and older and is contested over 1400m. With $200,000 at stake, the Chatham Stakes is quite a lucrative Group 3 event.

The Chatham Stakes is now run on VRC Oaks Day and shares the Flemington card with two other Group status races: the $1 million Group 1 $1 million VRC Oaks (2500m) and the Group 3 $200,000 Kennedy Plate (1100m) – both for three-year-old fillies.

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.

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 2017 Chatham Stakes was held on Thursday November 9, 2017 as the TCL TV Stakes.

2017 Chatham Stakes Field

The 2017 Chatham Stakes field is released on the Monday leading-up to the race, one day before the Melbourne Cup, and rarely runs at the capacity 16 starters.

The Chatham Stakes 2017 Final Field – known as the TCL TV Stakes Field – drew only 10 runners and two early scratchings further reduced the line-up to just eight hopefuls led by the likes of Darren Weir’s Moonga Stakes winner Ulmann and the ultra-consistent Grafton Cup champ from the winter Supply And Demand.

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) and Fawkner (2012). Chatham Stakes results, winners and winning times since 2000 are provided below.
