Golden Rose History
Inaugurated in its current name and format in 2003, the Golden Rose was elevated to Group 2 status in 2007 and became a Group 1 race in 2009. Many horses come from the 1300m The Run to the Rose, the 1200m Up and Coming Stakes or the 1200m Silver Shadow Stakes. The race’s fastest winning time was in 2007 when Forensics crossed the finish line in 1 minute 22.43 seconds whereas In Top Swing won with the slowest time of 1 minute 23.99 seconds in 2003.
In 2015 Exosphere won the Golden Rose Stakes before backing-up to take out the Group 2 Roman Consul Stakes (1200m) at Randwick in October.
