- 3rd: No. 6 Silver Dagger

Winning Time: 1:12.07
Barry Campbell’s class Stratosphere filly Sanniya ($1.50F) proved far too strong saluting for the punters in the 2026 Mystic Journey Stakes results at Hobart on Sunday. Racing away on the home straight to put a big gap on her rivals, the up-and-coming three-year-old never looked like losing eventually crossing the line two lengths clear of Alvarinho for her fourth win on the trot and sixth from seven career starts.

The 1200m sprint race is open to fillies and mares and is contested under weight-for-age conditions. Offering $150,000 in prize money and serves as a nice taster for punters keen for the day’s feature race – the Group 3 Ladbrokes Hobart Cup (2400m).
The best out of the Bow Mistress Trophy field each year may back-up at Launceston Racecourse in the Group 3 Vamos Stakes (1400m) run under the same conditions and also for female runners only. In 2016 the Bow Mistress Trophy runner-up I Love It backed up to win the Vamos Stakes. She also went on to run third in the Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) in Adelaide that winter.
In 2024 the race was renamed the Mystic Journey Stakes in honour of former star Tasmanian filly Mystic Journey best known for her Group 1 Australian Guineas and All-Star Mile victories as a three-year-old in Melbourne in 2019.
Geegees Mistruth (2025) was the last to take out the Mystic Journey Stakes – Vamos Stakes double.
The Bow Mistress Trophy 2026 ran on Sunday February 8, 2026 on Hobart Cup Day and saw the heavily backed favourite Sanniya ($1.50F) easily account for her rivals with a soft two length win.

Each Way: No. 8 Press For Boom
No doubting the short-priced favourite SANNIYA ($1.65 at time of publish) chasing a fourth win on the trot could prove very hard to beat but at that price there’s more value in this field for mine and so I’m chucking a bit Each Way on the consistent PRESS FOR BOOM (6). Jonn Blacker’s nicely bred Press Statement mare doesn’t know how to run a bad race, and she comes in here off a nice lead-up second behind the hot top fancy for Saturday’s rematch on January 18. Was 1.25 lengths beaten and while the weights don’t swing in her favour (she meets her last start conquer 3kg worse) she remains a genuine hope up in distance. Apprentice Jackson Radley retains the ride and knows her so well, she’ll relish the conditions with a likely Soft track and she’s two-from-two at the track and trip. The filly could steal the show, but she won’t be far off.

Bow Mistress Trophy / Mystic Journey Stakes History
The Bow Mistress Trophy was originally named after former star Tasmanian mare Bow Mistress who won a host of top races over her career.
It was inaugurated in 2006 as a Listed race and gained its current Group 3 status in 2012. It is one of the country’s younger Black-Type races and has been won by the likes of Diamond Cover (2008), Lady Lynette (2014), and dual winner Rebel Bride (2012-13).
The race was renamed ahead of the 2024 edition as the Mystic Journey Stakes.
In 2025 Geegees Mistruth became the first three-year-old filly to beat home the older mares and win the Mystic Journey Stakes.
Sanniya (2026) was the last Mystic Journey Stakes winning filly.
See below for the full list of Bow Mistress Trophy / Mystic Journey Stakes winners and results going back to the first edition in 2006.
