It is a Group 3 event for mares aged four years old and upwards under handicap conditions, over a distance of 1600 metres held annually at Moonee Valley Racecourse, Melbourne, Australia in late October on W. S. Cox Plate Day. Prize money is A$300,000.

History

The race's registered name is in honour of the famous Italian horse breeder Federico Tesio. The sponsors of the race are usually associated with breeding and the selling of thoroughbreds since the race is for mares. Race names such as Inglis and Dalgety indicate such a trend.
From 2012-14 the race name was named after Eliza Park International, a stud farm associated with the world champion racehorse, Black Caviar: standing her sire, Bel Esprit, bred her mother, Helsinge, and stood her damsire, Desert Sun.
