Guy Walter Stakes G2 (1400m 4yo+ M SW&P)
- First Running: 1996 (won by Destruct).
- Multiple Winners: Hot Danish, Steps In Time, Dixie Blossoms (2).
- Other Notable Winners: Bonanova, Forum Floozie, Danni Martine, Doubting, Catkins, Solicit.
- The race is registered as the Wiggle Stakes after the champion filly in 1958 and 1959 when she won the Stradbroke Handicap as a 2YO before she was exported to race successfully in the USA.
- The race name was changed from the Wiggle Stakes to the Guy Walter Stakes by the Australian Turf Club in 2015 as a tribute to the late Warwick Farm trainer Guy Walter who trained 36 Group One winners and won more than 120 stakes races.
- Guy Walter Stakes/Coolmore Classic double – Danni Martine (2005).Tim Clark has a great record winning it 5 times (including twice on his fav mare Hot Danish).
