The Edward Manifold Stakes is held on the same day as the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes, at the Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne. In many ways, this race marks the start of quality spring group racing for fillies, with this race witnessing some of the best three year old fillies such as Alinghi in 2004 and Special Harmony in 2003.
Some of the winners who have managed the Edward Manifold Stakes and Thousand Guineas double include Gallica in 2008, Alinghi in 2004, Special Harmony in 2003, Inaflury in 1998, Azzurro in 1992, Richfield Lady in 1991, and Riverina Charm in 1988. This race stretches all the way back to 1932, originally being run over a distance of 8 forlongs. It graduated to a 1600 metre event in 1972, and a Group 2 race in 1979.
The 2011 Edward Manifold Stakes was won by Mosheen, who won the race by three lengths from Bliss Street, with Celebrity Girl coming in third.
