The Tea Rose Stakes is a 3yo fillies event over 1500m that is the perfect lead up race to the major Group 1 race of the spring for three-year-old fillies, the Gr1 Flight Stakes (1600m) at Randwick in a fortnight.
This race will attract fillies that contested the Gr2 Furious Stakes (1400m) held two weeks earlier at Randwick, as the step up from 1400m to 1500m is ideal to fine tune for the 1600m of the Flight Stakes. The Furious Stakes has provided 9 of the past 12 winners of this race, while the Gr2 Tea Rose Stakes winners (7) and placegetters (2) have gone on to win 9 of the past eleven Flight Stakes.
Samantha Miss (2008), Mnemosyne (2005), Prisoner Of Love (2004), Shamekha (2003), Victory Vein (2002) all won the Furious stakes prior to winning this race.
More Joyous (2009), Samantha Miss (2008), Cheeky Choice (2006), Ha Ha (2001), and Unworldy (2000) all won the Tea Rose & Flight Stakes double, while Fashions Afield (2nd in 2005) went on to win the Flight Stakes.
Nearly every year the placegetters in this race will figure in the finish of the Flight Stakes and history shows the Tea Rose Stakes is a top form guide to the premier Group 1 race for fillies the following week at Randwick.
Samantha Miss (2008), Unworldly (2000), Danglissa (1999), Sunline (1998) all managed to win the Furious Stakes-Tea Rose Stakes- Flight Stakes treble.
Samantha Miss (2008) and Angst (1993) are the only two fillies to win the Priincess Series of races, the Silver Shadow Stakes, Furious Stakes, Tea Rose Stakes and Flight Stakes.
