The Ladbrokes Zeditave Stakes is a Group 3 race held at Caulfield Racecourse* in Melbourne on Blue Diamond Stakes Day each February.
*Note: The 2023 Zeditave Stakes and entire Blue Diamond Stakes race card took place at Ladbrokes Park (Sandown) with renovations happening at Caulfield.
The Zeditave Stakes is a popular target for in-form three year old colts and geldings heading towards tougher races in autumn carnival including Sydney’s Group 2 Arrowfield 3YO Sprint (1200m) at Randwick during The Championships in April. In 2017 the Zeditave Stakes third place-getter Derryn went on to win the Arrowfield 3YO Sprint three runs later in Sydney.
Held over 1200m under set weights plus penalties conditions, the Zeditave Stakes pays $200,000 prize money. It is a fairly lucrative race for that time of year, and is often employed as a lead-up race to the autumn carnival at Caulfield.
With so many major races following it, many trainers direct their better three year olds towards this race. Prior to the Zeditave Stakes, there are few lead-up races to consider.
Many horses contest the Zeditave Stakes first up or near enough to as part of their return to racing following a break after the spring racing carnival.
The form of the 2021 Zeditave Stakes was franked with the winner Oxley Road going on to win that spring’s Group 2 Caulfield Sprint (1000m).
The 2023 Ladbrokes Zeditave Stakes ran on Saturday February 25, 2023 at Sandown Racecourse and saw the Ciaron Maher & David Eustace-trained Recommendation ($8.50) enjoy a narrow Group 3 win.

Wide open edition of the Zeditave Stakes this season and going for the in-form Rich Enuff filly Rich Fortune chasing her third win on the trot. Jerome Hunter’s flying three-year-old has been good her last start winning at The Valley two back, which bodes well for the Lakeside circuit’s two tight turns before the home straight on Saturday, before a Group 3 Kevin Hayes Stakes win over 1100m here on the Hillside course.
