Mannerism Stakes 2024

Ladbrokes Tip: The Mannerism Stakes serves as a potential lead-up into Sydney’s Group 1 Coolmore Classic in the autumn.

The Mannerism Stakes is a Group 3 race for mares run and won at Caulfield Racecourse* in late February on Blue Diamond Stakes Day.

*Note: The 2023 Mannerism Stakes and entire Blue Diamond Stakes race card took place at Sandown with renovations happening at Caulfield. 

The set weights plus penalties clash takes place over 1400m and offers $200,000 in prize money.

Blue Diamond Stakes Day features a trio of Group 1 races headlined by the Blue Diamond Stakes for two-year-olds.

A key support act on the card, the Mannerism Stakes was first run in 1988 and has held Group 3 status since 1993.

It is named in honour of the 1991 Australasian Oaks winner and 1992 Caulfield Cup champion mare Mannerism.

Some of the better mares out of the event may head up to Sydney for a shot at the Group 1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) run at Rosehill two weeks later.

Espiona (2023) was the last mare to complete the Mannerism Stakes – Coolmore Classic double.

The latest edition of the Mannerism Stakes took place on Saturday February 24, 2024 as part of the bumper Blue Diamond Stakes Day at Caulfield and saw the Peter & Paul Snowden-trained Revolutionary Miss ($5.50) post a dominant win in the last.

Kept fresh since, up to 1400m now and she’s well-proven at the distance. Can win.
