The Eurythmic Stakes, formerly known as the Northerly Stakes, is a Perth Racing Group 3 Thoroughbred handicap horse race for horses aged three years old and upwards, over a distance of 1400 metres at Ascot Racecourse, Perth, Western Australia in October. [1] Prize money is A$200,000.
The race was renamed in 2010 after the champion Western Australian thoroughbred Northerly, winner of two W S Cox Plates (2001 & 2002), two Australian Cups (2001 & 2003) and a Caulfield Cup (2002).
In 2022, the Northerly Stakes was renamed the Eurythmic Stakes, while the Kingston Town Classic was renamed the Northerly Stakes. [2] [3]
† Originally the race was scheduled on 18 October 2015 but the race meeting was abandoned after the fourth race due to track safety. Race was held 21 October 2015. [32]
