The Red Roses Stakes is a Group 3 feature race for three-year-old fillies held over 1100m at Flemington Racecourse, with the next instalment due to be run on November 6, 2025.
Traditionally held as the final event on VRC Oaks day during the Melbourne Cup Carnival, the Red Roses Stakes is often a target race for sprinters looking to go to the next level ahead of the upcoming autumn.
One of those fillies in recent times to claim the Red Roses Stakes and go on to Group 1 success was Spright who would go on to claim the Robert Sangster Stakes as a five-year-old mare 18 months after her Flemington success.
First run in 1983 over 1200m as a Principal Race, the Red Roses Stakes has been run at Group 3 level over 1100m since 2014.

Recent Red Roses Stakes results
- Chris Waller & James McDonald combined with Amelita ($10.00) to claim victory in the 2024 Group 3 Red Roses Stakes (1100m), with the daughter of Zousain producing a stunning turn-of-foot to secure her second career win. The three-year-old filly, who was sent out as an each-way hope with Neds, initially seemed to have it all to do after drawing barrier one on the unfavourable far side of the straight course. However, ‘J-Mac’ had other plans, deliberately manoeuvring his mount to the grandstand side of the course in the first 200m. It proved to be a crucial decision by the star hoop, with Amelita latching onto the back of a genuine speed, courtesy of the Lindsay Park-trained Bold Bastille ($4.60), rolling forward under Mark Zahra. The well-supported favourite with horse racing bookmakers was fading quickly in the final 400m when pressured by a wall of horses, allowing the likes of Tobeornottobe ($19.00) and Bridal Waltz ($13.00) to cruise on by to fight out the finish. It was Amelita surging through a gap in the final furlong that got the upper hand, however, with the fast-finishing Vestas ($7.00) settling for second-place honours after producing a barnstorming finish.
- Mumbai Muse ($7.50) powered over the top to secure victory in the Group 3 Red Roses Stakes at Flemington. The Michael Freedman-trained filly has now produced back-to-back wins after scoring in the Listed Brian Crowley Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on October 28 and seems to be a promising three-year-old on the rise. Tommy Berry utilized barrier 16 to perfection, dragging Mumbai Muse to the rear of the field to switch off mid-race, allowing a genuine tempo to take him into the concluding stages. Excess ($12.00) bound across the face of the field to lead alongside the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Aditi ($23.00) throughout the early portion of the race, maneuvering towards the grandstand side of the course. Both faded quickly once asked the question, while Saltaire ($6.00) and Appin Girl ($19.00) both attacked the wire, leaving Mumbai Muse to get the last crack to score an impressive victory.
- Aitch Two Oh gave trainers Richard & Chantelle Jolly their first winner of the 2022 Melbourne Cup Carnival and their horse her first Group victory of her career when taking out the 2022 Red Roses Stakes. After jumping as a $23 outsider, Aitch Two Oh held on after sitting outside the leaders to take out the Group 3 Red Roses Stakes, just defeating the fast finishing La Danseuse Rouge and Bay Thirteen. After the initial rider for Aitch Two Oh, Jake Toeroek, couldn’t get a flight over to Melbourne from Adelaide on race morning, the Jolly’s were left without a rider. However, fortunately for them, James McDonald didn’t have a ride in this last race of the day, so he took it and it reaped dividends.
- Flying Evelyn had been winless since making a successful career debut at Moonee Valley in February. However, in a driving finish, Flying Evelyn finished fast to defeat A Very Fine Red by a half-length with a further half-head back to Seradess in third. Having settled at the rear of the field, Brett Prebble needed a fair amount of luck to get the filly in clear air at the right time. When the gap appeared 200m from home, Flying Evelyn jumped out of the ground late to score one of the more impressive wins of the day.
- After breaking the 1000m track record at Moonee Valley set by Nature Strip at her most recent start, Written Beauty from the Team Hawkes barn continued her success with her first Group success in the Red Roses Stakes. William Pike managed to have her in clear air throughout the 1100m scamper and despite potentially being vulnerable late, the filly kept finding under pressure to get the better of Marboosha as an odds-on pop to help favourite punters finish the day on a winning note.
- Tony & Calvin McEvoy rounded out VRC Oaks Day in style when their impressive filly Sisstar led throughout to claim the Group 3 Red Roses Stakes. Despite Barend Vorster needing to go for home early on the Zoustar filly, the $9 chance with bookies kept finding under the urgings of Vorster to narrowly hold off Niccovi in what can only be described as a gutsy win.
