KARRAKATTA PLATE HISTORY
The first edition was first run in 1900 and won by Willie.
The Karrakatta Plate has held Group 2 status from 1979 to 1984 and since 1999.
It was a Group 1 event between 1985 and 1998.
The race was not held in 1901, 1993 and 1997, while the 2005 edition was conducted at Belmont.
Notable winners include: Bomber Bill (1998), Jacks Or Better (1994), Umatilla (1990), Burgess Queen (1976), Easingwold (1920), Eurythmic (1919) & Jolly Beggar (1908).
In 1989 Paklani finished ahead of Highpak but was later disqualified after returning a positive swab.
The race has dead-heated on two occasions with His Double & Honneur (1922) and Jolly Beggar & Blue Moon (1908) sharing the honours.
WA Racing Hall Of Fame inductee Easingwold won the 1920 Karrakatta Plate and three years later took out the Cox Plate at Moonee Valley.
The 1918 Karrakatta Plate commenced a feature winning streak for Eurythmic who was successful a year later in the Perth Cup and the Caulfield Cup in 1920.
