The Zeditave Stakes is a Group 3 race for three-year-old colts & geldings that takes place in February each year at Flemington racecourse in Melbourne during the Melbourne autumn racing carnival. The race is run under set weights & penalty conditions over a distance of 1200 metres with prize money of $150,000. The 2020 Zeditave Stakes was won by He'll Haunt Us from Sansom with Spend third.
Formerly a listed event, the Zeditave Stakes was upgraded to Group 3 status for the 2013/2014 racing season and is held on Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes day at Caulfield in recent years. The Zeditave Stakes is named in honour of classy juvenile and 1988 Blue Diamond winner Zeditave.

The Zeditave Stakes is a race for colts & geldings only and tends to attract above average three-year-olds who may or may not have contested similar type group races earlier in their career. The weighted conditions of the race give a decided advantage to the better performed gallopers and generally the well fancied runners come to the fore.
Races such as the Group 3 Manfred Stakes & Group 2 Autumn Stakes at Caulfield and the Group 2 CS Hayes Stakes at Flemington are likely lead-up races to the Zeditave Stakes.
He'll Haunt Us (2020) took out a Magic Million Maiden race over 1200m at the Gold Coast racecourse in Queensland before heading south to win this event in strong fashion for the Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) stable.
