History
The Rubiton Stakes is a Group 2 race for open class sprinters conducted by the Melbourne Racing Club at Caulfield.
The Rubiton Stakes was first run in 1989 and was won by Zeditave.
The Rubiton Stakes is run over 1100m under Set Weights and Penalties conditions. It was worth $200,000 in 2020. It was WFA until 2009.
The race is named after the Cox Plate winner Rubiton.
It was Listed until 1991, then Group 3 to 2012 and then G2 after that.
