The Millie Fox Stakes is a Group 3 quality handicap race for fillies and mares that takes place each year in late February at Rosehill racecourse in Sydney, New South Wales. The race is run over a distance of 1300 metres and has prizemoney of $125,000. The 2011 Millie Fox Stakes was won by Montana Flyer from Graceful Anna with Jersey Lily third.
The Millie Fox Stakes is a nice little race for fillies and mares and generally attracts the better class females going around. The Gr2 Breeders Classic held earlier in the carnival is a good lead up race and filles & mares contesting this event will most likely have their eye on the premier race for females during the autumn, the Gr1 Coolmore Stud Classic at Randwick in March.
The Gr1 Queen Of The Turf Stakes on Golden Slipper day may also be on the radar for those mares up to the challenge and Neroli (2009) went on to take out the Queen Of The Turf Stakes after scoring in this event.
Montana Flyer (2010) ran fifth in the Breeders Classic at Randwick on her way to winning this event for the successive year in a row and recent Millie Fox Stakes winners have been Neroli (2009) and November Flight (2008).
