Callander-Presnell

The Callander-Presnell is a Group 2 race that is held at Randwick Racecourse, run under Set Weights conditions for three-year-olds and boasts a $1,000,000 prize pool.

This race used to be known as the Stan Fox Stakes; however, the race was renamed to the Callander-Presnell in 2022 to recognise the contributions that both Ken Callander and Max Presnell have made to racing.

The inaugural edition of the Stan Fox Stakes was classified as a Principal Race until 1984 before it was upgraded to a Listed race from 1985 to 1988. From 1989 until 1995, the race was classified as a Group 3 contest but was upgraded to Group 2 level from 1996 onwards.

With the Callander-Presnall now run over 1600m, it will turn out to be a second target race for three-year-olds if they happen to miss or run well (without winning) in the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas two weeks earlier.

Notable winners of the Callander-Presnell include Golden Mile (2022), Peltzer (2020), Impending (2016), Press Statement (2015), Shooting To Win (2014), Denman (2009), Paratroopers (2005), Lonhro (2001), Octagonal (1995) and Show County (1989).
