Standish Handicap

The Standish Handicap is a Victoria Racing Club Group 3 Thoroughbred horse race held under open handicap conditions, over a distance of 1200 metres at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, Australia in January, traditionally on New Year's Day.

History

The Standish Handicap is named after Captain Frederick Standish, (1824–1883) a VRC chairman and former Chief Commissioner of police at the time of the bushranger Ned Kelly. Standish is also credited with coming up with an idea to run a race and call it the Melbourne Cup.
