         Futurity Stakes (GR1)

                                    2024 total prize money: $750,000 
                       1st $450,000, 2nd $135,000, 3rd $67,500

The Futurity Stakes was first run at Caulfield racecourse as part of the VATC’s autumn carnival of 1898 and was won by Mr. W. R. Wilson’s, Resolute.
The first Futurity Stakes was a 7 furlong handicap with allowances and penalties attached, and offered a generous purse of 3000 sovereigns.

The first Futurity Stakes meeting was a financial failure, so the VATC changed the race from a handicap with allowances and penalties to a weight-for-age event with allowances and penalties and cut the purse back to 2000 sovereigns.

In 1944 the Futurity Stakes was changed from a WFA event with penalties and allowances to a Handicap event with a maximum of 9.7 and a minimum of 7.0. This change only lasted a couple of years before the conditions were restored to their previous terms in 1946.
In 1979 the Futurity Stakes became a standard WFA event and the distance was increased to 1800m, this distance change was short-lived as the race was restored to 1400m the following year.
Another short-lived distance change occurred in 2006 when the distance was increased to 1600m, this change only lasted until 2011 when it reverted back to 1400m.

Seven gallopers have won the Futurity Stakes on more than one occasion:
Gladsome 1905/06
St. Razzle 1949/50
Idolou 1973/74
Schillaci 1993 & 95
Niconero 2008/09
Ajax 1938/39/40
Special mention has to be made of the mighty chestnut powerhouse, Manikato who started in five Futurity Stakes, winning four and finishing second on the other occasion.

The most successful trainer of winner of the Futurity Stakes is shared by Lou Robertson and Angus Armanasco, who both saddled up the winner on five occasions.

Lou Robertson:
1926 Top Gallant – 1928 Gothic – 1943 Zonda – 1944 Counsel
1951 Iron Duke

Angus Armanasco:
