The PJ O'Shea Stakes is a weight-for-age distance race over 2200m that suits the classier types entered due to the level weights conditions of the event. The race often attracts a quality galloper and has been won by some very good horses over the years, including Yippio (2001), Intergaze (1998), The Phantom Chance (1996) and Rough Habit in 1995.

Horses from this race may go on to the Gr2 Brisbane Cup (2400m) held one week later at the same track or the Gr3 Tattersall's Cup (2200m) on Gr1 Winter Stakes day in June at Eagle Farm.

Scenic Shot (2009) was the last galloper to take out the PJ O'Shea Stakes and Brisbane Cup double.

The Gr1 Doomben Cup (2020m) has been a good guide to this race in recent times with Scenic Shot (2009) winning the Doomben Cup & PJ O'Shea Stakes double, with Rampant Lion (2nd 2008) & Gaze (2nd 2007) placing in both events. Triple Honour (2010), Natural Blitz (2005) and Pentastic (2004) both placed in the Doomben Cup before winning this race.

Triple Honour (2010) ran third in the Doomben Cup on his way to victory in this event and recent PJ O'Shea Stakes winners include Scenic Shot (2008-2009) and Pentathon (2007).
