Held under set weights plus penalties conditions, the Carbine Club Stakes is restricted to three-year-old horses and pays a healthy $500,000 in prize money after stakes were doubled in 2021.
The Carbine Club Stakes shares a race program with eight other Group status races making VRC Derby Day an event for racing purists. There are three Group 1 spring races on the card: the Victoria Derby (2500m), Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m), and Empire Rose Stakes (1600m).
Sydney’s Group 2 Roman Consul Stakes (1200m) can act as a fairly effective lead up race to the Carbine Club Stakes. Some horses choose to target the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) prior to stepping down in grade for this race.
Following their run in the Carbine Club Stakes, there are a number of available avenues for horses to pursue. Some head to the paddock, while others stay on for what’s left of the spring racing carnival. The Group 2 Sandown Guineas (1600m) is one of the elite options for the young milers with the double last completed by Mahuta (2015).
The 2021 Carbine Club Stakes form was franked with the winner Fangirl returning the following autumn to win the 2022 Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes.
The 2024 Carbine Club Stakes was held on Saturday November 2, 2024 as part of VRC Derby Day at HQ and saw Chris Waller’s smart filly Aeliana ($5.50) make it back-to-back Group 3 wins making a mess of her rivals with a 3.5 length victory.

Small field of promising youngsters facing off in the first on Derby Day and fancy the Chris Waller-trained Aeliana to make it two on the trot at a nice price. The Kiwi-bred filly won the Listed Reginald Allen first-up at Randwick over 1400m with 57kg. She presents fitter for the run, is back in weight to 56kg, and has James McDonald aboard. How she handles her first Melbourne assignment will be key but like what she did fresh and improves off that.

Carbine Club Stakes History
The Carbine Club Stakes is traditionally the first race on the Derby Day schedule. As a result, it is the first event in the four-day Flemington Racing Carnival and sets the tone for the massive Group 1 events to follow.
The Carbine Club Stakes was made a listed event in 1983, with Freeze taking it out that year. It was upgraded to Group 3 in 1998, with Toy Carousel the winner.
The Carbine Club Stakes has in the past been sponsored by Inglis.
Notable Carbine Club winners include Brave Salute (1984), Perfect Harmony (1994), Delago Brom (2002) and Mr Chard (2010). In recent history, a large number of horses who appear in the top three Carbine Club Stakes results have also gone on to place in the Sandown Guineas.
Perhaps the most renowned Carbine Club Stakes winners of all is Saintly, who took victory in 1995. Trained by Bart Cummings, Saintly went on to win or place in 21 of 23 starts (winning 10). Some of his scalps include the Group 1 Australian Cup, Group 1 Cox Plate and Group 1 Melbourne Cup.
In 2021 three-length winner Fangirl for Chris Waller became the first filly to win the Carbine Club Stakes in 15 years.
In 2024 another Waller filly won by a big margin with Aeliana successful by 3.5 lengths.

Race comments
FEROCE (1) comfortably brings the best last-start rating into this. He ran a good race in the G1 Caulfield Guineas last start when beaten a head and will find this easier. He's a progressive gelding who maps for a good run and clearly looks the one to beat. AELIANA (6) is a nice filly for the Chris Waller stable who ran on well last start at Randwick to win the G3 Reginald Allen Stakes. She'll relish the step to a mile and can measure up. ANOTHER PROPHET (8) has been going okay of late, not beaten far in the G2 Thousand Guineas Prelude last time out. She drawers nicely and can get into the finish. ACTA NON VERBA (3) is a progressive colt who tried hard behind a filly last start at Caulfield. In the mix. STYLISH SECRET (2) comes back in trip off a break but is racing well and can figure.
