History

The original race was named after a former chairman of the Victoria Racing Club, Lauchlan Kenneth Scobie ("L.K.S.") MacKinnon (18611935).[3] It was originally held on the first day of the Melbourne Cup Carnival, VRC Victoria Derby Day. In 2016, the VRC moved the race to the last day of the carnival and renamed the race that was formally called the Emirates Stakes.[1]

Prior to 2016, many horses with a ranking high enough to avoid the ballot for the Melbourne Cup used the race as a lead-in to the 3,200 metre Cup, run on the first Tuesday in November (otherwise they race in the longer Lexus Stakes). The VRC believed that placing the race on the last day of the Melbourne Cup Carnival would attract quality horses, that raced in the W.S. Cox Plate, to run at the distance, rather than using the race to prepare for the Melbourne Cup.[1]

gollark: Suuuure.
gollark: Anyway, the mechanism here is obvious: poor treatment of tendon injuries causes more resources to be spent on attempting to repair the tendon, instead of being used to develop your brain so you would know how video codecs and containers work. This is definitely how it works.
gollark: Just handling of videos.
