P. B. Lawrence Stakes (GR2)
(J. J. Liston Stakes)
The P. B. Lawrence Stakes is a 1400 metre Group 2 Weight-For-Age race
that is run in August at Caulfield racecourse in Victoria at the beginning of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.
2025 total prize money: $300,000
1st $180,000, 2nd $54,000, 3rd $27,000
[Race Record: 1:21.71 – Mr Brightside 2023]
The J. J. Liston Stakes had its first running in 1943 and was named in honour of Mr John J. Liston who had been chairman of the Williamstown Racing Club since 1931.
Because the Williamstown racecourse was being used as a military camp for Australian and allied forces at the time, the first J. J. Liston Stakes was run at Flemington Racecourse.
What was considered a temporary measure, turned out to be a long-term one, with Williamstown racecourse having been irreparably damaged during its occupation by the military.
Williamstown Racecourse never reopened after the war and the Liston Stakes continued to be run at Flemington and Caulfield until the opening of the VATC’s new Sandown racecourse in 1965.
The Liston Stakes continued to be run at Sandown Racecourse until 2002 when it was permanently transferred to Caulfield.
In 2011 the race name was changed to the P. B. Lawrence Stakes, in honour of Peter B. Lawrence, whose distinguished career with the Victoria Amateur Turf Club (VATC) spanned a 31 year period. During that time, Peter Lawrence held the positions of Treasurer, Vice-Chairman and Chairman. After his retirement as Chairman in 1999, Lawrence stayed on the committee for a further 10 years.
Many top-class gallopers have won this race over the years, horses like Chicquita, Lord, Tobin Bronze, Winfreux, Tauto, Sydeston, Mahogany, Apache Cat and Mr Brightside, to name a few.
Three horses have won the Liston/Lawrence Stakes on more than one occasion:
My Peak 1960 & 62 – Tauto 1971/72 – Mr Brightside 2022/23
The most successful trainer of winners of the Liston Stakes is Brian Courtney who saddled-up the winner on three occasions:
1960 & 62 My Peak – 1970 Regal Vista
Riding honours rest with Greg Childs who piloted the winner on four occasions:
