The Frank Packer Plate is run under set weight conditions and has a handsome purse of $125,000 on offer to its participants. During April, the Royal Randwick Racecourse draws spectators in their droves from all over New South Wales, and interstate for the Autumn Racing Carnival. The Frank Packer Plate is held on one of the carnival’s more prestigious race days as it is run alongside three top Group 1 races in the Australian Oaks (2400m), The Galaxy (1100m) and the Doncaster Handicap (1600 metres).

Leading up to the Frank Packer Plate, it is a good idea for punters to get familiar in regards to horse form, especially with the horses expected to run in the race. The Group 2 Tulloch Stakes (2000m) held at the Rosehill Gardens Racecourse, also in Sydney, earlier in the carnival is a good race to keep an eye on.
