     VRC Champions Mile (GR1)

                                 (Cantala Stakes)     

                                2024 total prize money: $3,000,000 

                            1st $1,800,000, 2nd $540,000, 3rd $270,000

The Cantala Stakes was originally known as the Coburg Stakes.

It had its first running at Flemington racecourse in 1881 over a distance of one mile and was won by Mr Hurtle Fisher’s chestnut horse, Courtenay.

The following year, the distance was increased to one mile & one furlong, then, in 1895 the distance was changed back to the original, one mile.

A name change in 1919 saw the first running of the Cantala Stakes.

The Cantala Stakes remained a permanent fixture of the VRC’s Derby Day program from its first running in 1919 until 1960 when both the name and programming were changed. The race became the George Adams Handicap and was rescheduled to the final day of the spring carnival.

The George Adams Handicap lasted until 1984 when the name was changed to the Ampol Stakes.

From 1989 through to 2015 the name changed as the sponsors changed, these included Honda, Nissan, Chrysler and Emirates.

In 2016 the VRC announced a series of changes to its spring carnival program, one of the changes was the renaming and rescheduling of the Emirates Stakes.

The race would once again be known as the Cantala stakes and like the original Cantala stakes, it would also be run on Derby Day.
Reverting back to the Cantala Stakes only lasted 12 months. In 2017 the race was renamed the Kennedy Mile and in 2022 the Kennedy Champions Mile.

Six horses have won the Cantala Stakes on more than one occasion:

1907/08 – Iolaire

1914 & 1917 – De Gama

1926 & 1929 – Amounis

1960/61 – Aquanita

1965 & 67 – Heroic Stone
