The Vinery Stud Stakes is a group one race held at Rosehill Gardens for three-year-old fillies at set weights over the distance of 2000m.
Held in late March or early April, the $750,000 Vinery Stud Stakes was initially registered as the Storm Queen Stakes, named after the winner of the 1966 Golden Slipper Storm Queen. But in 2009 was renamed to the Vinery Stud Stakes.
The race, which obtained group one status in 1993, has been run over 2000m since 1980 and is one of the rare Sydney group races that has never been run at a different track.
The Vinery Stud Stakes is one of the main lead up races to the Group One Australian Oaks, which is run as part of Sydney’s Championships.

Latest Vinery Stud Stakes
Betting on the Vinery Stud Stakes
The Vinery Stud Stakes routinely draws the best three-year-old fillies from Australia and New Zealand to compete for group one glory.
As the race draws in horses from various form lines from around the country and across the Tasman, picking a formline to go off can be extremely difficult.
The winner of the race typically goes on to feature in the Australian Oaks but only Verry Elleegant (2019), Serenade Rose (2006), Danendri (1997), Alcove (1994), Research (1989) and Sheraco (1982) have gone on to complete the Vinery Stud Stakes-Australian Oaks double.
Following torrential rain at Rosehill, the 2022 edition was postponed on the day of the race, with it rescheduled to be run at Newcastle two days later over 1850m.
Form has come from races like the Coolmore Classic and the Kembla Grange Classic. However the Phar Lap Stakes is also a factor.
Four of the last seven years the winner has come through the Phar Lap Stakes and three of them were Chris Waller fillies.

Recent Vinery Stud Stakes races
- The journey across the Tasman has paid immediate dividends for the Roger James & Robert Wellwood barn, with New Zealand raider Orchestral ($1.60) justifying the short quote in the Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m) at Rosehill. James McDonald partnered the daughter of Savabeel three starts back at Ellerslie in the Listed Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m) on January 27, and always suggested a trip to Australia would be ideal for the three-year-old filly. The race panned out perfect for McDonald gaining the one-one throughout the journey, parking in behind a moderate speed throughout. Zardozi ($4.20) was able to slide in behind her, while the Gary Portelli-trained Kimochi ($9.50) was allowed to stride forward under Rachel King. The race shifted gear at the 1000m marker as Nash Rawiller pulled out a three-wide line aboard Tutta La Vitta ($11.00), playing a game of ‘catch me if you can’ aboard the Chris Waller-trained filly. Rawiller pinched a three-length break on his rivals, forcing McDonald’s mount to knuckle down to the task, proving too strong at the wire. Orchestral has now claimed back-to-back Group 1 victories after taking on the boys in the Group 1 New Zealand Derby (2400m) on March 2, and will now press on towards the Group 1 Australian Oaks (2400m) on April 13.
- Prowess has produced a dominant display in the Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes going on to win by a staggering 3.3-lengths on the line. The Roger James and Robert Wellwood training duo have presented her in terrific order, as Prowess proved far too good for the Australian three-year-old fillies over the 2000m. She came from the Group 1 Bonecrusher Stakes at Pukekohe where she was too good at weight-for-age level against the older horses, and has now subsequently made it back-to-back Group 1 wins for the team. Mark Zahra got an ideal position throughout the contest, sitting in behind the speed as the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained, Soul Choice, elected to bolt across and lead, leaving Prowess and Pavitra in stalking positions. Turning for home the match race was on; Pavitra scooted clear momentarily, but Prowess was travelling beautifully tracking Pavitra every step of the way. Then when asked for an extended effort from Zahra, proceeded to put them away with relative ease. That left a fight for the minor placings with Pavitra holding off Fireburn who got the nod in a photo with Pierosa who came home with a wet sail.
- Despite being delayed by two days owing to torrential rain at Rosehill, transferred to Newcastle and reduce to 1850m, the Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes for 2022 went to the Chris Waller-trained Fangirl. The filly was in a ding dong battle down the home straight with stablemate Hinged, but over the final 50m got the better of the stablemate and would go on to hand Chris Waller a third win in the race from the past four editions.
- Some self-talk midway through the Vinery Stud Stakes has driven Kerrin McEvoy to produce a gem of a ride on Hungry Heart and claim the Group 1 fillies’ feature in an epic finish. As Harmony Rose made the running, McEvoy found himself among the tailenders and spotting the favourite a big start. Hungry Heart ($5.50) scored by a short neck over Harmony Rose ($2.30 fav) with Impecunious ($15.00) another 2-3/4 lengths away third. Victoria Oaks winner Personal raced handy but didn’t let down, finishing seventh, in an effort jockey James McDonald said was “disappointing”.
- On the back of an A-grade steer by Adam Hyeronimus, it was Shout The Bar who took out the 2020 Vinery Stud Stakes. Having cornered in front the Waterhouse & Bott-trained filly fended off her more fancied rivals such as Probabeel to grip on and claim a tough win. Safe to say if any punters backed her at $15 they would have been tempted to follow the name of the winner and Shout The Bar.
- Verry Elleegant put together the run that many anticipated she would in a Group 1 event after disappointing initially since crossing the Tasman. After making the shift to the Chris Waller stable the champ won the Phar Lap Stakes before getting to this event and the filly delivered, winning in style on a heavy 9 Rosehill track.
- Mick Price delivered a brilliant training performance in preparing Hiyaam to win the Vinery Stud Stakes. The four-year-old mare hunted to the lead early in the piece and never relinquished the lead, kicking away in the latter stages to win just shy of two lengths.
- Montoya’s Secret won a race full of interference for father-son training team Leon and Troy Corstens. Horses wiped out in the rough race were Smart As You Think, whose jockey Corey Brown nearly fell off, while Lubiton an Foxplay were also hampered in the running. But Montoya’s Secret ($12) managed to stay out of trouble on the rail, beating home Nurse Kitchen ($18), with Harlow Gold ($7) nearly two lengths further back in third. Read full report.
- In 2016 Single Gaze was a double figure runner that was not expected to feature in the finish, but the horse lobbed into a great position early in the race and was able to traill the speed. The horse got a great cart into the race and kicked away in the latter stages of to record an impressive win.
- Superstar filly First Seal was meant to be the easy winner of the Vinery Stud in 2015 but a $21 chance by the name of Fenway had other ideas. Fenway separated from the field at the 200m and looked to have pinched the race. First Seal came hard as the line loomed but could not get past Fenway.
- In what could very well be the most impressive performance in a Vinery Stud Stakes, Kiwi import Lucia Valentina settled at the back of the huge field. As the bulk of the pack went to the middle of the track Lucia Valentina hugged the inside of the track and ran on strongly to record an incredible win as a $9 shot.
- Bart Cummings trained Norzita was expected to go well as a $3 main elect in the market and punters would have felt very comfortable as the horse was able to switch off in mid-field. The horse was presented at the right time to break away from the pack alongside Longport, and the pair engaged in an epic duel in the latter stages that Norzita ultimately won.
