In 2017 upset Golden Rose winner Trapeze Artist upset the form winning on the back of a lead-up fourth in the Group 2 Stan Fox Stakes (1500m). The Stan Fox Stakes also produced the 2018 Golden Rose winner, The Autumn Sun, who improved on a lead-up third and who would go onto win that year’s Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) in Melbourne next start.

Runner-up In Secret meanwhile further franked the form with her Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) victory down the Flemington straight that Melbourne Cup Carnival.

The 2023 Golden Rose Stakes winner Militarize franked the form going on to run top three in a host more Group 1 races including the following year’s 2024 Randwick Guineas (2nd), George Ryder Stakes (3rd) and Doncaster Mile (3rd).

Golden Rose Stakes History

The Golden Rose Stakes was first run in 1978 as the Peter Pan Stakes, and the inaugural edition of the classic was won by Kapalaran. A year later, subsequent triple Cox Plate champion Kingston Town (1979) took out the race. The event was renamed as the Golden Rose Stakes in 2003 and gained its current Group 1 status in 2009 when Denman won. Notable recent Golden Rose winners include Toorak Toff (2010), Exosphere (2015), and Astern (2016).

The 2018 Golden Rose winner The Autumn Sun went on to win his next four races including a trio of Group 1 victories in the 2018 Caulfield Guineas, 2019 Randwick Guineas and 2019 Rosehill Guineas.

In 2019 Bivouac won the Golden Rose before his Group 1 Newmarket Handicap success the following year at Flemington. He defeated Yes Yes Yes in the Golden Rose, the Chris Waller-trained runner-up franking the form by winning the world’s richest turf race, The Everest, next start.

In 2024 Broadsiding made history winning the Golden Rose Stakes first-up following his sensational juvenile campaign that saw him win the Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m) and Group 1 J.J. Atkins (1600m) earlier in the year.

In 2025 a son of the race’s 2019 champion, Bivouac, got up with Beiwacht saluting for trainer Chris Waller and the Godolphin stable in an upset at $9 setting a new track record of 1:20.79.
