History

Those three year old gallopers who were not able to participate in the Australian Derby or in the Australian Oaks held over a distance of 2400 metres often take part in this middle distance event.[1]

During recent times the race has been held on the last day of the ATC Autumn Carnival.[1]

Name

The race is named in honour of Sir Douglas Frank Hewson Packer, who was a media proprietor and former committeeman of the Australian Jockey Club for 12 years.[2]
