The Lady Of The Turf Stakes is a Group 3 Fillies & Mares race held annually in late May at Doomben racecourse in Brisbane, Queensland during the winter racing carnival. The race is run over a distance of 1350 metres under set weight & penalty conditions with prizemoney of $150,000. The 2011 Lady Of The Turf Stakes was won by Kanzan from Zero Rock with Returntosender third.
Elevated to Group 3 Status for the 2009/2010 racing season after previously being a Listed race, the Lady Of The Turf Stakes takes place on Gr1 Doomben Cup day and was run as the Glenlogan Park Stakes' for the 2010/2011 racing season.
The Lady Of The Turf Stakes is a handy race for fillies and mares only and will typically attract female gallopers looking to tune up for the better class same sex races ahead at Eagle Farm, such as the Gr2 Dane Ripper Quality on Oaks Day or the Gr1 Winter Stakes on the final day of the carnival, both run over 1400m in June.
Fillies & mares racing in the winter carnival will all be striving to win either the Lady of The Turf Stakes, Dane Ripper Quality or Winter Stakes, or all of them, as they are the premier female races of the carnival, and many females will often compete in all three races.
In recent times Wealth Princess (2010) went on to place in both the Dane Ripper Quality and Winter Stakes, while Russeting (3rd in 2009) went on run fourth in the Dane Ripper Quality before going on to win to win the Winter Stakes. Chincilla Rose (2nd in 2008) returned the following year to win the Dane Ripper Quality at Eagle Farm.
Kanzan (2011) won the listed Hawkesbury Crown over 1300m at Hawkesbury prior to her victory in this event and recent Lady Of The Turf Stakes winners have been Wealth Princess (2010) and Ortensia (2009).
