                                       (L K S Mackinnon Stakes)

                                 2024 total prize money: $3,000,000

                                      Sir Lachlan Mackinnon



The Mackinnon Stakes is a WFA race that was first run as the Melbourne Stakes in 1869 over 1 ¼ miles at Flemington racecourse. The first running of the Melbourne Stakes was won by the previous year’s Melbourne Cup winner, Glencoe, who had been recently purchased from his owner, John Tait by Thomas Bailey.

In 1936 the VRC committee decided to honour the late former chairman of the club Mr. Lachlan Mackinnon by naming a feature race after him. The race chosen was the Melbourne Stakes which then became the L.K.S. Mackinnon Stakes.
In 2016 The Mackinnon Stakes was renamed the Emirates Stakes and rescheduled from Victoria Derby Day to Queen Elizabeth Stakes day, the final day of the carnival. In 2022 the race became the Champions Stakes.

Bart Cummings is the most successful trainer of winners of the Mackinnon Stakes with an incredible eleven winners: 
1959 Trellios – 1970 Voleur – 1974 Leilani – 1976 Gold And Black 
1980 Belmura Lad – 1981 Belmura Lad – 1984 Bounty Hawk
1991 Let’s Elope – 1999 Rogan Josh – 2007 Sirmione – 2010 So You Think.

1968 Rain Lover – 1970 Voleur.
