History

The race was not held for 2 years during World War II. The Melbourne Racing Club moved the race predominantly to Sandown in 1994. However at times the race has been rescheduled and held at Caulfield as was the case in 2013 when Sandown Racecourse was under construction. [2] When held at Sandown Racecourse, the race has been scheduled on the inner Lakeside racecourse at times.

Since 2021, the race has been run at Caulfield Racecourse. [3]
