The Run to the Rose is a 3yo quality race that attracts capable three-year-olds earmarked by trainers for this event. Horses contesting this race will most likely head towards the $1M Golden Rose later in the carnival at the same track.
The Golden Rose is now a Group 1 race and the richest event held during the Sydney spring carnival which makes it an attractive proposition for connections and the Run To The Rose is the ideal lead-up race. Denman (2009) went on to win the Golden Rose after winning this event, while Squamosa (2010) managed to run second in the Golden Rose at his next start.
Smart Missile (2011) came with a well timed run to win this race first-up from a spell and recent recent Run To The Rose winners have been Squamosa (2010) and Denman (2009).
