JJ Liston Stakes | Spring Racing Carnival

The JJ Liston Stakes is the first Group 2 race of the new season and a good event for spring hopefuls returning from a spell. The JJ Liston Stakes is a weight-for-age event run over a distance of 1400 metres and held at Caulfield racecourse, Melbourne in August each year.

The Group 3 weight-for-age Bletchingly Stakes is usually a good lead up race to the Liston Stakes and the early weight-for-age races in August are a forerunner to some fine thoroughbred racing to come as far as horse racing in Melbourne is concerned.
