The Tea Rose Stakes is a 3yo fillies event over 1500 metres that is the perfect lead up race to the premier race of the spring for three-year-old fillies, the Gr1 Flight Stakes at Randwick on the final day of the carnival.

This race will attract fillies that previously contested the Gr2 Furious Stakes earlier in the carnival 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 more than 75% winners of this race over the past few years while fillies who contest this event have provided more than 80% of recent Flight Stakes winners.

In recent times Streama (2011), More Strawberries (2010), Samantha Miss (2008), Mnemosyne (2005), Prisoner Of Love (2004), Shamekha (2003) and Victory Vein (2002) have all won the Furious Stakes before going on to win this race.

Nearly every year the placegetters from this race will figure in the finish of the Flight Stakes on the final day of the spring racing carnival at Randwick and history shows the Tea Rose Stakes is the best form guide to premier Group 1 fillies race of the spring.

Streama (2011), 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.

Streama (2011), 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 Princess Series of races, the Silver Shadow Stakes, Furious Stakes, Tea Rose Stakes and Flight Stakes.

Streama (2011) won the Furious Stakes on her way to leading all the way in this event and recent Tea Rose Stakes winners include More Strawberries (2010) and More Joyous (2009).
