Winners and Past Results

The Rubiton Stakes is a Melbourne Racing Club Group 3 Australian horse race run at set weight & penalties for horses aged 3 years old and upwards. FREE $200 Bet

It is contested over a distance of 1100 metres and is held annually at Caulfield Racecourse in Melbourne in February on the same day as the C F Orr Stakes during the Autumn Racing Carnival.

Prize money for the Rubiton stakes is worth $125,000.

The race is named after the 1987 Cox Plate winner Rubiton. The Rubiton Stakes gained Group 3 status in 1992 after being elevated from a Listed event. First run in 1989, it has only ever been held over two distances, 1000m and its current 1100m.

Prior to 2010 the race was run under weight-for-age conditions.

Zeditave won the inaugural Rubiton Stakes, other winners include multiple winners Schillaci (1993 & 1995) and Super Elegant (2003 & 2004).

2012 Rubiton Stakes will be run on the 11/2/2012.

Fresh from a spell, Catapulted was always near the pace, settling in just behind the leaders before finding room in the straight and unleashing a winning burst which took him all the way to the finishing post. Avenue was half a length back in second, while early pace-setter Solar Charged was able to hold on for third.
