Gilgai Stakes

The Gilgai Stakes, registered as the Baguette Stakes, is a Victoria Racing Club Group 2 Thoroughbred horse race for horses three years old and older, at Set Weights with penalties, over a distance of 1200 metres. It is held annually at Flemington Racecourse, Melbourne, Australia in early October. Total prize money for the race is A$300,000.

Originally the race was named after the former VRC chairman Sir Rupert Steele. The registered name of the race, Baguette Stakes, is named after the champion horse Baguette. The current race name is named after Gilgai Farm Stud, a horse breeding farm in Nagambie, Victoria, the birthplace of the champion racehorse Black Caviar.
