The Northerly Stakes, previously known as the Kingston Town Classic, is a Group 1 race held at Ascot Racecourse each year. The 1800m event is held in December each year and is one of Perth’s premier race meetings following up from the Group 1 Railway Stakes and Group 2 Winterbottom Stakes.

The race is at Group 1 level and boasts a total prize pool of $1,500,000 making it an attractive target for local gallopers and visitors from interstate.

The Group 1 Railway Stakes which is run at Ascot two weeks prior to the Kingston Town Classic is a common lead up race for this event.

The Kingston Town Classic is a good form line for the Group 2 CB Cox Stakes (2100m) at weight-for-age.
