The Edward Manifold Stakes, a Group 2 race held at Flemington by the Victoria Racing Club, puts three-year-old fillies to the test under set weight conditions.
Established in 1932, the Edward Manifold Stakes is run over 1600m.
Named in honour of a dedicated committee member from the VRC, the Edward Manifold Stakes earned its Group 2 status in 1979.
The Freedman family has experienced a remarkable streak of success in this event, with a series of victories spanning 14 years. Notable fillies like Serenade Rose, Alinghi, Special Harmony, Ugachaka, Rose Of Danehill, and Azzurro made their mark, while Anthony and Sam Freedman rekindled the glory with Elusive Express in 2021.
Over the past four decades, a select group of fillies achieved the impressive feat of claiming victory in both the Edward Manifold Stakes and the Group 1 VRC Oaks (2500m). Among these accomplished individuals are Mosheen, Serenade Rose, Special Harmony, Richfield Lady, Spirit Of Kingston, and Taj Eclipse.

Recent Edward Manifold Stakes winners
- James Cummings and Chad Scofield combined with Zardozi ($11.00) taking out the Group 2 Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m) in stylish fashion at Flemington. The Godolphin filly showed plenty of promise in her two-year-old season, winning three in a row before being tipped out for a spell. She was then placed on a Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) path that didn’t eventuate, now landing in Melbourne for what could now be a live chance in the Group 1 VRC Oaks (2500m). She sat quietly behind a genuine tempo for Chad Schofield, as the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Amazonian Lass ($34.00) bold along up on speed. When the race went on with 400m to go, Zardozi and Aprilia ($11.00) sat down to fight out the finish, with the former finding best to score by 1.5 lengths.
- She’s Licketysplit ($3.10) has proved far too good for her rivals in the Group 2 Edward Manifold Stakes at Flemington, with Typhoon Titmus ($7) and Tajneed ($9.50) filling the placings, but never really threatening the Andrew Forsman-trained winner. It was an on-pace dominated affair, with the three of the first four out coming from the first four in running throughout the 1600m event. Celestial Spirit was a sole-leader who ran at an even pace, with Do It La and Tajneed sitting just off the leader with the eventual winner a couple of lengths off those two, before launching home turn and going straight past all three of them.
- Elusive Express, the Kiwi import backed as if unbeatable and lived up to the punters confidence with a triumph in the Group 2 Edward Manifold Stakes. This daughter of Jakkalberry had already drawn attention by securing third place in her recent outing at the Group 2 Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m). Guided impeccably by Jye McNeil in the prestigious Flemington Group 2 event, Elusive Express positioned herself just off the pace before making a decisive move. Despite her limited race experience, the filly displayed remarkable strength as she powered through the finish line and looks destined for bigger and better things.
- Godolphin’s remarkable three-year-old, Thermosphere ($3.60), displayed superiority over the rest of the Edward Manifold Stakes field. Despite a slight drift in betting, the daughter of Exosphere showcased why she was enlisted as favourite as she raced expertly under the guidance of jockey Damian Lane. With a full field of 16 contenders, Lane faced a challenging three-wide position around the home turn. However, he skilfully utilised this position to his advantage during the final furlong. This strategic move allowed Thermosphere to maintain her lead and fend off the valiant efforts of Starelle ($26) and Chica Fuerte ($8.50) in an intense sprint to the finish line.
- Moonlight Maid has provided trainer Mitchell Freedman an early a career highlight with her last-to-first victory in the Edward Manifold Stakes at Flemington. Ridden by Ben Melham, Moonlight Maid ($41) powered home down the centre of the track to win Saturday’s Group Two race from Fascino ($19) with the $2.90 favourite Miami Bound in third place. Freedman, 30, has been training in his own right for six years after being a one-time foreman for disqualified trainer Darren Weir at Warrnambool.
