Run to the Rose News
The Run to the Rose is a 1200 metre sprint held at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse in Sydney in early September as a lead-up to the Golden Rose Stakes.
Open to horses aged three years old and run under set weights plus penalties conditions, The Run to the Rose is a genuine test of sprinting ability and tends to display some of the best talent on the Sydney circuit. With a total prize pool of $200,000, the race attracts plenty of great young horses from renowned stables looking for bigger spring targets over the coming weeks.
The Run to the Rose is now contested on a spring race card featuring two other Group 2 status races – the Theo Marks Stakes and the recently upgraded Sheraco Stakes.
The Run to the Rose is a major lead up event to the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m), one of Sydney racing’s main events and worth $1 million prize money. The Golden Rose runs a fortnight later at Rosehill and usually contains quite a few horses that previously participated in the Run to the Rose. It is definitely worth watching the lead up race in order to get an idea of how the field interacts and to gauge form for the Golden Rose.
Astern (2016) was the last horse to complete the Run To The Rose – Golden Rose Stakes double.
The Run to the Rose 2019 ran on Saturday September 14, 2019 and saw the Vain Stakes winner Bivouac returning to winning form.

Run to the Rose History
The Run to the Rose was inaugurated in 2003, with Gilded Youth taking out the first edition of the race. Originally called the Monakea 3YO Quality Handicap, the race changed name in 2005 for a year to the Smithfield RSL Club Handicap. From 2006 onwards, it has been known as The Run to the Rose. A listed race from the outset, the Run to the Rose was upgraded to Group 3 in 2007. In 2015 it was upgraded to a Group 2 event and has retained that status since.
For much of its early years the Run to the Rose was run over 1300 metres, however the distance was reduced to 1200 metres from 2011 onwards. The Golden Rose is 1400 metres.
Notable Run to the Rose winners include Eremein (2004), El Cambio (2007), Pierro (2012), and the latest to go on and win the Group 1 Golden Rose – Astern (2016). Run to the Rose results since the race’s first edition in 2003 are listed below.
