The Memsie Stakes attracts quality horses as it is run in late August and is only two weeks away from the Gr1 Manikato Stakes which makes the Memsie Stakes a great lead up race. Some quality thoroughbreds have won this race and it has been a great guide to the weight-for-age WS Cox Plate in recent years.
El Segundo (2006), Makybe Diva (2005), Sunline (2000-01) and Dane Ripper (1998) all managing to win the WS Cox Plate either before or after winning this race.

Maldivian (2nd in 2007) went on to win the 2008 Cox Plate and Haradasun
(2nd in 2007) came third in the WS Cox Plate later in the spring.
El Segundo (2006) went on to win the 2007 WS Cox Plate in great style, while Sunline successful in 2001-02 took out the Cox Plate double in 1999-2000 and was denied the hat-trick by Northerly in 2001.
The mighty mare Dane Ripper (1998) won this race after taking out the Cox Plate with a withering sprint in 1997, and the classy Rubiton (1987) won the Memsie Stakes & Cox Plate double in the same year.
Interestingly enough, the outstanding mare Makybe Diva captured three Melbourne Cups in 2003-05 before returning to win this race in 2006. Cast a keen eye over the Memsie Stakes.
