[edit] 1972 - 2006

The race was originally held over two miles, about 3,218 metres, but following Australia's adoption of the metric system in the 1970's the current distance of 3200 metres was adopted in 1972. This reduced the distance by 61ft 6in, and Rain Lover's 1968 race record of 3min.19.1sec was accordingly adjusted to 3min.17.9sec. The present record holder is the 1990 winner Kingston Rule with a time of 3min 16.3sec.
