The Missile Stakes is a weight-for-age event for horses 3yo and upwards and is typically the first stakes race of the new racing season in Sydney and generally held annually at Rosehill racecourse over a distance of 1100 metres. With the first day of the 2010/2011 racing season falling on a Sunday the Missile Stakes was held following Saturday at Randwick (Saturday 7th August) on the same day as the Gr3 San Domenico Stakes.

Rover over a distance of 1200 metres at Randwick with $125,000 in prizemoney, the 2010 Missile Stakes was won by Love Conquers All from Danleigh with Sniper's Bullet third.

The Missile Stakes is usually contested by solid winter sprinters or quality horses returning from a spell and heading for a spring campaign. The race can be won by a fit, honest type who excels on the day or a fresh classy type who is simply too good. Some of the better gallopers to have won the Missile Stakes include Dance Hero (2005), Lonhro (2002) and Guineas (1997).

Gallopers contesting this event may go on to contest the Gr2 Premiere Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill run under similar conditions. Captain Bax (2008) went on to run second in the Premiere at his next start while German Chocolate (2007) and Spark Of Life (2004) both managed to win the Missile Stakes & Premiere Stakes double.

Gold Trail (2nd in 2009) went on to win the Gr2 The Shorts on Epsom Handicap day later in the spring and this race can often be a springboard to future success for many gallopers.

Love Conquers All (2010) won the listed June Stakes at Randwick prior to his easy win in this event and recent Missile Stakes winners include Teasing (2009) and Captain Bax (2008).
