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 (1400m) in a fortnight 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.
Denman (2009) went on to win the Golden Rose after winning this event and in recent years the Run To The Rose has been taken out by Desuetude (2008), El Cambio (2007) and Mentality in 2006.
