VFACTS

The race was first held in 1992 and is named in honour of the former champion racehorse and sire Vain. The Vain Stakes is the first group race of the new racing season for colts & geldings only and most of the time the assembled field is made up of returning stars on their way to bigger races, or fit, in-form winter gallopers testing themselves in stronger grade. The most prominent winners are Haradasun (2006), Starspangledbanner (2009) and Sepoy (2011)…..Now who the race is named after: Vain (1966–1991) was a champion Racehorse that dominated Australian sprint racing in the period 1968–70 when he won 12 of the 14 races he contested and ran close seconds in the other two. Vain was bred and raced by Melbourne brothers Walter, Fred, and George Johnson and was trained by Jim Moloney in the Melbourne suburb of Mordialloc. His normal jockey was Pat Hyland, who rode him to all his wins. As a two-year-old Vain was undefeated in Melbourne in the Spring of 1968 and the Autumn of 1969, winning races such as the VRC Sires Produce. Moving to Sydney, he won the Golden Slipper Stakes by four lengths and the Champagne Stakes by 10 lengths, the latter in the fastest time ever recorded for a two-year-old over six furlongs (1,200 metres). As a three-year-old, Vain won the Caulfield Guineas by three lengths, then campaigned in the VRC Spring Carnival, winning over eight days the Craven ‘A’ Stakes by 12 lengths and the Linlithgow Stakes by six lengths. In his final race, he carried a record 10 lb over weight-for-age (WFA) in winning the 1969 George Adams Handicap. Vain set Australian prize money records as a two-year-old and three-year-old. His only defeat as a three year old was against the champion New Zealand colt Daryl’s Joy, who also won the W S Cox Plate and Victoria Derby and who later raced successfully in the United States as a stayer including winning at Group one level. Vain sired two Golden Slipper winners and was a leading sire in Australia. He is also the great-great grand-sire of Black Caviar on the dam side….
