The Auraria Stakes is a South Australian Jockey Club Group 3 thoroughbred horse race for three year old fillies raced under Set Weights with penalties conditions, over a distance of 1800 metres at Morphettville Racecourse in Adelaide, Australia. Total prize money for the race is A$127,250. History The race is named in honour of the horse Auraria, winner of the 1895 Melbourne Cup. The race was inaugurated in 1944 by the Port Adelaide Racing Club, but since the club's race track Cheltenham Park Racecourse was unavailable during World War II the race was held at Morphettville Racecourse. The following year the race was run at Cheltenham.
