The race is named after the great race horse Manikato, who won this race twice as well as winning 5 consecutive William Reid Stakes at Moonee Valley from 1979 to 1983. In 2009 the event was part of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge series with the winner of the Manikato Stakes automatically qualifying for a berth in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint in the United States.
