The Maurcie McCarten Stakes is a Group 3 sprint run under open quality handicap conditions at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse on Coolmore Classic Day each March.
Run during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival, the meeting is headlined by the Group 1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) and features a host of other Group status support acts including the Group 2 Ajax Stakes (1500m), Group 2 Phar Lap Stakes (1200m), the lucrative Group 3 $350,000 Sky High Stakes (2000m) and the Maurice McCarten Stakes.
Run over 1100m the Group 3 Maurice McCarten Stakes field may feature first-up runners kicking off their autumn campaigns or horses coming off an earlier autumn lead-up in a race like the Group 3 Southern Cross Stakes (1200m) at the track a month earlier, which last produced a Maurice McCarten Stakes winner with Dothraki (2nd in 2018). Dothraki was originally also second past the post in the Maurice McCarten, but won the race on protest over Sprightly Lass.
After the event Maurice McCarten Stakes graduates may back-up in a race like the Group 3 Star Kingdom Stakes (1200m) held back at the Rosehill track later that month. Hoystar (2008) was the last sprinter to complete the Maurice McCarten – Star Kingdom Stakes double. Tougher targets like the Group 1 The Galaxy (1100m) at Rosehill a fortnight after the Maurice McCarten Stakes might also be included in better sprinters’ campaigns. The last Maurice McCarten Stakes winner to go onto win The Galaxy was Atomic Force in 2011.
The 2020 Maurice McCarten Stakes winner Star Of The Seas franked the form running second in that season’s Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) two runs later. He also placed second in the Group 1 Winx Stakes and Group 1 George Main Stakes that September.
The Maurice McCarten Stakes 2022 ran on Saturday March 12, 2022 and was won by last weekend’s shock Challenge Stakes runner-up Shelby Sixtysix ($6.50).
