The Angas Armanasco Stakes is a Group 2 Australian thoroughbred horse race held under set weight conditions, for fillies aged 3 years old, over a distance of 1600m. It is held at Caulfield Racecourse in Melbourne every February.
Many of the race's contestants will come via the Group 2 Vanity Stakes (1400m) or the Group 2 Moonee Valley Fillies Classic (1500m). Named after the Australian Racing Hall of Fame horse trainer, Angus Armanasco. His career began as a jockey in Perth and then progressed into training for which he won seven Victorian Trainer Premierships.
The Angas Armanasco Stakes is the ideal lead-up race to the Group 2 Kewney Stakes (1600m) held on Flemington's Super Saturday.
In 2010, the MRC reduced the Angus Armanasco Stakes to a distance of 1400 metres and changed the race conditions from set weights only to a set weights & penalties race. The changes were made to coincide with the VRC's decision to reduce the Gr2 Kewney Stakes (run 2 weeks later) to 1400 metres on Super Saturday of Racing at Flemington in March.
