The 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 Sandown with renovations happening at Caulfield.
The Zeditave Stakes is a popular target for in-form three-year-olds 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.
In 2023 Wee Nessy ran second in both the Zeditave and that year’s $1 million Arrowfield 3YO Sprint results.
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 2024 Zeditave Stakes ran on Saturday February 24, 2024 at Caulfield on Blue Diamond Day and was won in impressive fashion by the undefeated Raikoke ($10) in a strong upset performance.

Stay tuned for our insider Zeditave Stakes 2024 Tips on the Blue Diamond Day support act this autumn.
- To Win: #6 Wolfy ($13 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Sticking with Wolfy for an upset! The Nick Ryan-trained Tivaci colt didn’t quite justify his two prior good runs with an 11th-place finish in the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas, but that was a massive rise in class. This race presents a more suitable level, and he’s had a well-deserved freshen-up since. Importantly, Wolfy boasts two place finishes at this 1200m distance, showcasing his potential here. Don’t count him out – he could surprise the field and roar back to form!
