The 2016 Strickland Stakes is a Group 3 race that takes place at Belmont racecourse in Perth during June each year. Run over a distance of 2,000 metres, the Strickland Stakes is held as part of the Perth Racing Carnival. The Strickland Stakes is run under weight-for-age conditions and is worth a total of $150,000 in prize money.
The Strickland Stakes was first run in 1985 when it was won by Bungling. The race was originally run at Ascot Racecourse over 1,800 metres, however, was moved to Belmont Racecourse from 2010 and is now run over 2,000 metres. The Strickland Stakes also took place at Belmont Racecourse for one year in 2005.
The Strickland Stakes is often contested by horses that have come via races such as the Group 3 Hyperion Stakes the month before. This race is held under the same conditions and over 1,600 metres at Belmont Racecourse. The Strickland Stakes typically attracts a predominantly local field, with not many horses venturing to Western Australia from the eastern states to run in the race.
