First run in 1990 and won by Wrap Around, the Chairman’s Stakes has become a key lead-up to the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m). Initially a Listed race, the Chairman’s Stakes was upgraded to Group 3 status in 2014. Traditionally held over 1000m, it has varied between 1000m and 1200m due to changes in scheduling. The Chairman’s Stakes offers a prize pool of $200,000 as of 2025 and is run under set weights and penalties conditions. Redoute’s Choice famously won both the Chairman’s Stakes and Blue Diamond in 1999, while Extreme Choice later followed suit. Crystal Lily went on to claim the Golden Slipper after winning this race. In 2003, Vengeance Of Rain (then named Subscribe) won before becoming a Hong Kong champion. Loving Gaby, the 2019 winner, later secured Group 1 glory in the Manikato Stakes. Other notable past winners include Tennessee Mist (1992), Road To Success (2000), Yell (2002), Headway (2009), and Enthaar (2021). 2025 Chairman’s Stakes betting odds 2025 Chairman’s Stakes odds are currently unavailable.

Counteroffensive ($9.50) set a solid tempo out in front and after he pinched a couple of lengths on the race favourite and eventual winner, it looked as though he would take some running down with 300m to go. However, once Ben Melham gave the son of Pierata a crack with the whip and allowed him to go through his gears, he picked up the leader and powered away in the final 150m. The second favourite Eneeza ($2.40) from the Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman yard settled near the rear and made good ground in the home straight to run into second place but was no match for the super impressive winner. 2023: Zulfiqar proves too hard to run down Zulfiqar and Ben Melham combined for a front-running masterclass in the Chairman’s Stakes. Ben Melham was able to shoot straight to the lead on the inside running rail for James Cummings and team Godolphin, in very similar fashion to his win in the Maribyrnong Trial Stakes from the spring. He led throughout on that occasion to score at Flemington and that’s exactly what eventuated in the Chairman’s Stakes over the 1000m. He was joined up on speed by first-starter Perilous Fighter and Craig Williams, ensuring a decent tempo for back markers to come into play. When Melham asked for an effort from his two-year-old, Zulfiqar obliged after being headed with 200m to go and proceeded to kick clear of his rivals to score by just over a length. 2022: Sebonack cruises to victory Jye McNeil made it three wins from the first four races at Caulfield when guiding Sebonack to a comfortable win in the Group 3 Chairman’s Stakes (1000m). The Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes-trained two-year-old colt was on debut in the Group 3 feature, but that didn’t stop punters rallying behind him, as he firmed from $6 into $5.50. The son of Capitalist was a $260,000 yearling purchase at the 2021 Inglis Easter Yearling Sales, and he quickly recouped some of that, taking home the $120,000 winner’s cheque. After jumping well from barrier two, McNeil had to guide the debutant through the field and set out after the favourite Renosu in the straight, but he ultimately did it with ease, winning by 1.25 lengths on the line. 2021: Enthaar lives up to the hype Boom two-year-old filly Enthaar tightened her grip on favouritism on the forthcoming major two-year-old races when she glided around to win the Chairman’s Stakes at Caulfield. Enthaar was seemingly under a double grip for the entire race by jockey Mark Zahra yet still won by 2.25 lengths and recorded a time 57.28 seconds for the 1000 metres which was 1.31 seconds outside the course record on a Good 4 track.
