2025 Furious Stakes Results

Stay tuned for the official 2025 Furious Stakes results and finishing order including the winning filly likely to target the Flight Stakes on Epsom Day.

• 1st: #16 Apocalyptic ($5)
• 2nd: #2 Tupakara
• 3rd: #3 Savvy Hallie

Apocalyptic ($5), trained by Michael Freedman, delivered a stunning first-up victory in the 2025 Furious Stakes results at Randwick on Saturday, overcoming a challenging lead-up that included a long spell due to a foot abscess and just one prior race start.

The maiden Extreme Choice filly surged through a narrow gap in the straight under Tommy Berry to win by a half-neck in a blanket finish, defeating Tupakara and Silver Shadow Stakes winner Savvy Hallie.

Freedman had considered a more conservative path but backed his instincts and Berry’s confidence, believing Apocalyptic had the class to compete at this level. The win confirmed her status as a top contender for the remaining legs of the Princess Series, with the Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) and Flight Stakes (1600m) now firmly in her sights.

Many fillies will first race in the Silver Shadow Stakes held two weeks earlier. Formality (2017), Libertini (2019) and Dame Giselle (2020) are the most recent fillies to complete the Silver Shadow – Furious Stakes double.

The Furious Stakes is part of the ‘Princess Series Of Races’ and the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) over the mile at Randwick on Epsom Handicap Day completes the series.

Angst (1993) and Samantha Miss (2008) are the only two fillies in history to complete the series with wins in all four races: Silver Shadow Stakes / Furious Stakes / Tea Rose Stakes / Flight Stakes.

Stay tuned for our insider Furious Stakes 2025 Tips on the Flight Stakes lead-up this September.

• To Win: #3 Savvy Hallie ($4.80 at time of publish) – BET NOW

SAVVY HALLIE (5) stands out for mine to keep the wins coming in the Furious Stakes after a very good start to her 3YO campaign. Fresh at Newcastle she thrived in the wet to win over 900m by a runaway five lengths then franked that form relishing another Heavy rated track to beat Within The Law by a good margin in the opening leg of the Princess Series. She’s a touch of value now to claim the next Flight Stakes lead-up with firmer going on Saturday. Versatile, Brad Widdup’s daughter of Hellbent showed she could also be competitive on a Good (4) track when runner-up to Tempted as a 2YO in the Group 2 Percy Sykes. She’s fit, firing and think she stands a very nice chance to make it a hat-trick from a nice gate five draw.
