The Silver Shadow Stakes is raced over 1200 metres at set weights and is the perfect lead up race for fillies who are looking ahead to the bigger three-year-old filly races in coming weeks, such as the Gr2 Furious Stakes (1400m) and Gr 2 Tea Rose Stakes (1500m).
In recent years the race has generally been won by a more than handy filly rather than an out and out topliner, although the brilliant sprinter Gold Edition managed to win the race in 2006 before going on to bigger and better things. Recent winners of the Silver Shadow, include Samantha Miss (2008), not run in 2007, and Gold Edition in 2006.
The race is a good guide to the Furious Stakes at Randwick in 2 weeks time. Samantha Miss (2008), Mnemosyne (2005) and Victory Vein (2002) all won the Silver Shadow Stakes before winning the Furious Stakes.
Wager (2nd in 2004) and Hosannah (2nd in 2001) finished second in both races in 2004, while Our Sweet Moss (2004) won this race before finishing 3rd in the Furious.
Unwordly (3rd in 2000) won the Furious Stakes after running 3rd in this race, while Melito (2nd in 2009) went on to win the Furious Stakes after finishing runner-up here. Hurtle Myrtle (3rd in 2009) ran second in the Furious Stakes at her next start.
Samantha Miss (2008) and Angst (1993) are the only two fillies to win the Priincess Series of races, the Silver Shadow, Furious Stakes, Tea Rose Stakes and Flight Stakes.
