Notes:
- ^(1) Race meeting scheduled for 16 March 2016 was abandoned due to Newcastle's Beaumont track being unsafe for racing after prolonged rain. The race was moved to 19 March 2016 as the tenth race in the race card on Golden Slipper Stakes Day at Rosehill Racecourse.[3]
- ^(2) Perth Racing abandoned the meeting after the fourth race due to track safety on the originally scheduled date. Race was moved to 21 October 2015.[4]
- ^(3) Races regularly scheduled for Eagle Farm Racecourse are italicized indicating that for the 2014–15 racing season the events are transferred to Doomben Racecourse due to track reconstruction. Initially it was expected that the reconstruction would be completed for the main Group races but due to delays the project would not be completed until October 2015.[5]
- ^(4) The Tattersall's Club June meeting regularly held at Eagle Farm Racecourse was moved to the Gold Coast Racecourse due to track reconstruction.[6]
