History

The 1950 George Main Stakes racebook

The race is named after George Main, a former chairman of the Australian Jockey Club. Main lived with his wife Mary on Retreat, a grazing property at Illabo, west of Cootamundra on the southwest slopes of New South Wales. He bred racehorses and ran sheep.[2]
The winner of the George Main is exempt from a ballot on the Epsom Handicap, and horses who run well often head for the Epsom.[2]
