The Rose Of Kingston Stakes - formerly known as the Blazer Stakes - is a Group 2 sprint held at Flemington on Turnbull Stakes Day in early October as a lead-up to the Empire Rose Stakes.
The Rose Of Kingston Stakes, formerly run as the Blazer Stakes, is a Group 2 race held during the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival $300,000 in prize money. The race takes place on Turnbull Stakes Day which also includes the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes (2000m), Group 2 Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m), Group 2 Danehill Stakes (1200m), Group 2 Gilgai Stakes (1200m) and Group 3 The Bart Cummings (2500m).
Open only to mares aged four-years-old and above, the Rose Of Kingston Stakes attracts a quality line-up each season with many of the runners heading towards the following month’s Group 1 Empire Rose Classic (1600m) back at the track over the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
The 2020 Rose Of Kingston Stakes winner Sierra Sue went on to frank the form winning the following year’s Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield.
The 2022 Rose Of Kingston Stakes form was franked with the winner Excelida going on to run third in that year’s Empire Rose Stakes results.
The latest edition of the Rose Of Kingston Stakes 2023 took place on Saturday October 7, 2023 as part of Flemington’s Turnbull Stakes Day program and was won in brave fashion by the on-speed runner Life Lessons ($6.50) for Moody & Coleman.

Stay tuned for our insider Rose Of Kingston Stakes 2023 Tips on the mares’ only event at Flemington this Turnbull Stakes Day.
She is odds-on and no value but cannot tip against Princess Grace here. Chris Waller’s bonny seven-year-old is looking to return to winning form with her latest turf triumph being the Group 3 Hawkesbury Crown in the autumn. Three very good runs in Group 1 company this campaign against some of the form horses of the spring, so this drop back to a Group 2 against her own kind will be a breeze (hopefully)! Unlucky to run second fresh narrowly beaten by stablemate Fangirl in the Winx Stakes first-up before finishing just a head off Mr Brightside in the Memsie in Melbourne. Up to a mile at Flemington and took on that gun galloper again in the Makybe Diva Stakes for a brave fourth. That form was franked with the runner-up Alligator Blood winning the Group 1 Underwood Stakes next start and now it is this mare’s turn to win. Can’t see her being beaten now rock-hard fit in this field.
The Rose Of Kingston Stakes field usually attracts some very well experienced mares out of lead-up races including the Group 3 How Now Stakes (1200m) or Group 2 Let’s Elope Stakes (1400m) the month before.
Life Lessons (2nd in 2023) was the last Let’s Elope Stakes graduate to back-up and win the Rose Of Kingston Stakes.
The Rose Of Kingston Stakes 2023 field and barrier draw will be released by Racing Victoria on the Wednesday of race week and will be listed in full below once out.
The 2023 Rose Of Kingston Stakes final field features a quality line-up of Group 1-bound mares dominated by Chris Waller’s multiple Group 1 place-getter Princess Grace coming off some big runs behind Mr Brightside.
