The 2021 Ottawa Stakes is a key support act on Oaks Day at Flemington held on the first Thursday of November, two days after Melbourne Cup Day featuring the ‘Race That Stops A Nation’.

Run under set weights, the Ottawa Stakes is restricted to two-year-old fillies. It is run over a brief sprinter’s distance of 1000m and pays $200,000 prize money.

The Ottawa Stakes shares a race program with the Group 1 $1 million Kennedy Oaks (2500m) for three-year-old fillies along with the Group 3 Red Roses Stakes.

The majority of juvenile fillies in the Ottawa Stakes field are making their debuts and it is a huge thrill for connections to have a starter on the country’s most popular day of racing. Plenty of the best fillies out of the Ottawa Stakes go on to contest tougher races over their career. The 2016 Ottawa Stakes third placed Madeenaty finished third in the following year’s $2 million Magic Millions 2YO Classic (1200m) at the Gold Coast, while the 2015 runner-up Prompt Response would go on to win in Group 2 company.

The Debutant Stakes at Caulfield can serve as a nice lead-up race into this, while some of the best out of the Ottawa Stakes may return the following autumn for a shot at the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m).

The 2021 Ottawa Stakes ran at Flemington on Thursday November 4, 2021 and was won by debutant See You In Heaven who was originally an emergency runner.
