Held under set weights plus penalties conditions and restricted to three-year-old fillies, the Thoroughbred Club of Australia Stakes provides a perfect opportunity for young fillies to showcase their talent in a highly competitive environment.

The Group 3 MVRC Champagne Stakes – now run as the Scarborough Stakes – is a good lead up event to watch as a number of fillies have come off a run in that including Invincible Star (7th in 2017).
In 2008, for example, Impressive Eagle improved on a Champagne Stakes third to take out second in this event. In 2009, Avenue won both events. The next year, Solar Charged came second in both events. The year after that (2011), Platelet won this following a second in the Champagne Stakes. In 2016 Hear The Chant improved on a lead-up last in the Champagne Stakes at Moonee Valley for her win.
More recently the 2019 Champagne Stakes winner Loving Gaby ran second in the Thoroughbred Club Stakes results before backing-up to win the Group 1 Manikato Stakes (1200m) at The Valley on Cox Plate Eve.
In 2020 Swats That became the latest filly to complete the MVRC Champagne Stakes – Thoroughbred Club Stakes double. She then ran second in the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes down the straight at Flemington.
The 2022 MVRC Champagne Stakes form was also franked with the third place-getter English Riviera going on to win that year’s Thoroughbred Club Stakes on Caulfield Guineas Day.
Following a good run in the Thoroughbred Club Stakes, fillies might continue on to any number of races, depending on their preferred campaign.
In 2018 the Thoroughbred Club Stakes winner Sunlight went on to beat the boys in the Coolmore Stud Stakes. She also won the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap / William Reid Stakes double down the Flemington straight the following autumn.
As of 2023 the Thoroughbred Club Stakes is now run after the Coolmore Stud Stakes.

Thoroughbred Club Stakes History
Inaugurated in 1976, the Thoroughbred Club Stakes has had plenty of time to become an accepted and almost fundamental feature of the spring racing carnival. There’s little doubt that the Thoroughbred Club Stakes plays an important role in the development of a lot of young fillies.
Between its inception and 1999, the Thoroughbred Club Stakes was held over 1400m. At 1200m, the Thoroughbred Club Stakes today occupies an important slot on the first day of the three-day Caulfield Cup Carnival, Caulfield Guineas Day.
The Thoroughbred Club Stakes has recently been run as the Maroona Stakes.
Notable Thoroughbred Club Stakes winners include Boardwalk Angel (1988), Vigil (1995), Cornwall Queen (1997), Queen Of The Hill (2005), Platelet (2011), Missy Longstocking (2013), Earthquake (2014), and Sunlight (2018).
