| Distance: | 1600m |
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).

Recent Callander-Presnell results
- The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Prost ($8.00) held off the late challenge of Just Party ($3.00) to claim the 2024 Group 2 Callander-Presnell (1600m). It was a big form reversal from the son of Snitzel after two unplaced efforts to kick-off the campaign, bouncing back to his best to claim the three-year-old feature with Adam Hyeronimus in the saddle. It was a relatively easy watch for punters in the middle stages if you were on the eventual winner, with Hyeronimus lobbing into the one-one throughout the 1600m journey, while stable companion Anode ($2.50) lead them along at a sedate tempo early. Just Party was caught up in traffic along the inside running rail, similarly to his last-start performance in the Listed Tapp-Craig (1400m) and was always going to need some luck when the whips were cracking. Jay Ford managed to get Just Party into the clear with 400m left to travel and got the last crack at Prost as they entered the final furlong; it was just too late in the end, however, as Prost held tough to claim his first win since February and his first being tested at the mile.
- Tyler Schiller and Chris Waller have combined in the penultimate race at Randwick, taking out the Group 2 Callander-Presnell (1600m) as Chrysaor ($21.00) caused a minor upset. It comes as some surprise, with the three-year-old colt running last and second-last respectively in his two runs upon resumption. It was a barnstorming effort on Saturday as the son of Better Than Ready played the stalking roll from barrier four, allowing the speed to go on, with Flying Trapeze ($26.00) and Zondee ($41.00) going at a genuine clip. It left the well-supported favourite Artic Glamour ($1.60) with nowhere to go; however, even when clear was a shade disappointing to the line. Snowman ($7.50) and Chrysaor stormed past the leading pair and sat down to fight it out, with the latter getting the better on the wire, while Ducasse ($11.00) closed off nicely in the trifecta spot.
- Golden Mile provided James Cummings with his second Randwick winner for the day with a hard-fought victory in the Group 2 Callander-Presnell. Winner of the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas last start, Golden Mile jumped as +130 favourite with online bookmakers with Hugh Bowman onboard. After drifting back to third last on settling from barrier 10, he honed in quickly on the leaders down the straight before going head for head with Communist (+450) who wouldn’t give in without a fight.
- The Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes-trained Hilal (+700) returned to his best when defeating the even money race favourite Coastwatch (+100) in the 2021 Group 2 Stan Fox Stakes at Randwick. Both the winner and the runner-up made their runs at the same time, with Berry going down the outside on the winner and McDonald the inside on the runner-up. The two kicked clear to fight out the finish, with Hilal getting the upper hand in the final 50m.
- Peltzer (+170) from the Gerald Ryan & Sterling Alexiou yard has claimed the Group 2 Stan Fox Stakes after leading every step of the 1500m at Randwick. Tim Clark gave the winner a great front-running ride and when the son of So You Think kicked clear at the 300m mark, the race was all but over. Both Prime Star (+270) and Master Delight (+320) ran home well into second and third, respectively.
- After being sent out as the second roughest runner in the race, the Gerald Ryan & Sterling Alexiou-trained Colada (+1900) has led all the way and caused a boilover in the Group 2 Stan Fox Stakes at Randwick. Robbie Dolan went out with daring tactics and took off from the front mid-race, and even though he started to tire late, the son of Brazen Beau won by two lengths on the line. Brandenburg (+800) and the race favourite Bottega (+120) flew home late to fill the placings.
