The Tristarc Stakes is a mares only race over the middle sprint distance of 1400m and generally attracts above average females on their way to the Group 1 Empire Rose Stakes on AAMI Victoria Derby day or the Gr2 Matriarch Stakes on Emirates Stakes day, or any of the better quality mares races still to come.
The set weights conditions of the race means that the better mares in the race have a distinct advantage over their rivals and those females with higher average prize money and better race records are typically the ones to beat.
Generally taken out by a more than handy mare, in recent times outstanding mares More Joyous (2011) and Typhoon Tracy (2009) have both won this race.
Savatiano (2019) ran fourth in the Group 2 Blazer Stakes over 1400m at Flemington before producing the goods in quality style for the James Cummings stable.
Recent Tristarc Stakes winners include Shumookh (2018) and Global Glamour (2017).
