The Mannerism Stakes is a Melbourne Racing Club Group 3 Thoroughbred horse race for mares aged four years old and older, held under Set Weights conditions with penalties, over a distance of 1400 metres at Caulfield Racecourse in Melbourne, Australia in late February.[1] Prizemoney is A$200,000.
The registered race is named after Mannerism,[2] who won the 1991 Australasian Oaks and 1992 Caulfield Cup.
In 1996 and 2023 the event was held at Flemington Racecourse.
Notes:
† The race was won by Azkadellia[34] but was disqualified by Racing Victoria because convicted criminal Peter Foster was the 'mastermind' behind an arrangement with her racing manager Ben Connolly to deceive stewards over the true ownership.[35]
