Rose Of Kingston Stakes
Australia | FEATURE RACE GUIDE
History
The Rose Of Kingston Stakes is a Group 2 race run under Set Weights and Penalty conditions for four year old and up mares at Flemington conducted by the Victoria Racing Club.
The Rose Of Kingston Stakes is run over 1400m. It was first run in 1989 and was won by Lady Jess.
It is registered as the Rose Of Kingston Stakes after the Derby and Oaks winning filly but has been run as the Blazer Stakes for many years. She was also the dam of Melbourne Cup winner Kingston Rule.
It has always been run around the 1400m race distance.
The Rose Of Kingston Stakes was a Listed Race then upgraded to Group 3 from 1997 and a Group 2 from 2005.
Mares who run well here often do the same in the Myer Classic and/or Cantala Stakes.
Tasmanian mares had a big result in 2021 as Still A Star got up in the last stride and Mystic Journey ran on into third.
The Rose Of Kingston Stakes was worth $300,000 in 2025.
Notable winners of the Rose Of Kingston Stakes include Revolutionary Miss (2024), Invincibella (2018), Mosheen (2012), Palacio De Cristal (2010), Divine Madonna (2006), Sky Cuddle (2005), Hosannah (2002), Tickle My (2001), Chlorophyll (1996) and Excited Angel (1993).
The 2024 Rose Of Kingston Stakes was won by Revolutionary Miss from Miss Aria and Skybird.
