Ladies’ Day Vase News
The Ladies’ Day Vase is a Group 3 mile event held at Caulfield Racecourse during the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.
Raced over 1600m, the Ladies’ Day Vase is open to mares aged four years and older. Run under set weights plus penalties, the Ladies’ Day Vase is an effective counter to Randwick’s Angst Stakes (1600m) held the Saturday prior in Sydney.
The Ladies’ Day Vase falls on the second day of the Caulfield Cup Carnival as a feature event and key support race on what is now known as Thousand Guineas Day.
The card was previously known as Blue Sapphire Stakes Day and headlined by the lucrative and recently upgraded $400,000 Group 3 Blue Sapphire Stakes (1200m) and the Group 3 Coongy Cup for 11th hour Caulfield Cup hopefuls before the Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) joined the line-up in 2021 moved from the Saturday prior.
While most of the attention dedicated to the Caulfield Cup Carnival is focused on the other two days, Caulfield Guineas Day and Caulfield Cup Day, the Ladies’ Day Vase is an exciting race with an important role in the Spring Racing Carnival.
Mares tend to target the Ladies’ Day Vase as part of an ongoing spring campaign. Because it falls in the middle of October, most of the horses that contend the Ladies’ Day Vase have already had several lead up races, which makes it somewhat easier to judge form.
The Group 2 Blazer Stakes (1400m) held at Flemington under similar conditions earlier in the month can act as a fairly good lead up race. Mares that perform well in the Ladies’ Day Vase might back-up in the Group 1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m) over the same distance at Flemington on Victoria Derby Day during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
In 2019 the Ladies’ Day Vase winner Spanish Reef went on to run third in the Empire Rose Stakes results.
The 2021 Ladies’ Day Vase ran on Wednesday October 13, 2021 and was won by the in-form favourite Sirileo Miss.

Ladies’ Day Vase History
Inaugurated in its current format in 2006, the Ladies’ Day Vase has a brief history in comparison to other events at Caulfield. The Ladies’ Day Vase has always been held at Caulfield Racecourse, and will most likely remain the feature event of the middle day of the Caulfield Cup Carnival for some time to come.
The Ladies’ Day Vase provides an important opportunity for punters (and trainers) to see the participating mares perform in level company, in order to gauge their overall ability.
Originally a Listed race, the Ladies’ Day Vase was upgraded to Group 3 status in 2013. It was also referred to as the Snowhite Maintenance Classic for that year, and in the past as the carsales.com.au Classic and the Perri Cutten Classic.
Notable Ladies’ Day Vase winners include Gawne (2006), Lady Lynette (2009), Royal Commands (2010) and I Am A Star (2018). Ladies’ Day Vase results and winning times since 2006 are listed below.
