The Stocks Stakes is a Group 2 race for mares four years old and over.  Taking place at Moonee Valley Racecourse, this 1600 metre event has a long and proud history in Australian racing.  Like many races held during this time of the Spring carnival, the Stocks Stakes is a good indicator of bigger races later in the season.

The Stocks Stakes takes place on Saturday September 15, 2012, on the same day as the Group 2 Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes and the Group 3 McEwen Stakes.  Traditionally, this race is a good lead-up to races like the Group 2 Blazer Stakes at Flemington Racecourse and the Group 1 Myer Classic at Flemington on Victoria Derby day.

The Stocks Stakes has been run since 1973, with Mellition winning the inaugural race.  Initially a Principal Race, the Stocks Stakes changed to a Listed Race in 1979.  In 1993 this event graduated to a Group 3 event, which is the status it retained until 2005 when it became the Group 2 race that it is today.

Some of the well known horses that have won the Stocks Stakes include Sunday Joy in 2003, She’s Archie in 2004, Devil Moon in 2007, and Zarita in 2009.  The 2011 event was taken out by King’s Rose, followed by Pinker Pinker in second and Lady Lynette in third.
