The Schillaci Stakes is a Group 2 race held annually at Caulfield racecourse in Melbourne. It is a great sprint race held over 1000m at weight for age conditions and carries prize money of $200,000. It is held on Caulfield Guineas Day which includes three Group 1 races; the Caulfield Guineas, Yalumba Stakes and Toorak Handicap.

It was first run in 1970 and in recent years has been won by some magnificent horses which have gone on to much bigger and better things. Winners include Miss Andretti, Gold Edition, Spinning Hill, Falvelon, Mahagany and Mr Magic.

The Manikato Stakes is a great indicator for this race as it is also a weight for age sprint, held a fortnight earlier. The Manikato Stakes has produced ix Schillaci Stakes winners overall so it is a great guide. The 2009 Manikato Stakes was taken out by Danleigh ahead of Phelan Ready and Nicconi.
