The 2023 Jim Sawkins Memorial Handicap was held in conjunction with ACT League event 2 at Glendale on Sunday 4 June.
The Jim Sawkins Classic is a Handicap competition with two Divisions:

- Division 2, on ACT League other Hard courses, a Restricted competition for competitors of both genders, but only for Men aged under 21 and 35 and over and all Women.
