The Eurythmic Stakes, formerly known as the Northerly Stakes, is a Perth Racing Group 3 Thoroughbred handicap horse race for horses aged three years old and upwards, over a distance of 1400 metres at Ascot Racecourse, Perth, Western Australia in October.

History

The race was renamed in 2010 after the champion Western Australian thoroughbred Northerly, winner of two W S Cox Plates (2001 & 2002), two Australian Cups (2001 & 2003) and a Caulfield Cup (2002).

In 2022, this Group 3 level Northerly Stakes was renamed the Eurythmic Stakes, while the Group 1 Kingston Town Classic was renamed the Northerly Stakes.
