History

[edit]

The race is named after Alister Clark, the foundation chairman of the Moonee Valley Racing Club and master of Oaklands Hunt Club from 1901 to 1908.[2] He was also the pre-eminent Australian rose breeder of the twentieth century.[2]

The race was first run in 1939 and has had changes in distance and grade. The race at times has been a Weight-for-age event for 3-year-olds and over as evident in 1977 when champion three-year-old filly Surround won the race.[3]
