The Group 2 The Roses is traditionally held on Doomben Cup Day during the Brisbane Carnival as a Queensland Oaks lead-up. In 2020 COVID-19 saw the race held in June at Eagle Farm over 1800m.
The Roses, formerly known as the Doomben Roses, is held annually in either May or June as part of the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival. Traditionally run at Doomben Racecourse, The Roses pays a total of $200,000 in prize money and takes place on Doomben Cup Day.
In 2020 the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival was reduced and many races rescheduled due to COVID-19 including The Roses, which was moved to the weekend after Stradbroke Handicap Day and run at Eagle Farm Racecourse over a shorter 1800m distance offering $175,000 in prize money.
Raced over 2000m, the Group 2 The Roses is run under set weights conditions and is open to three-year-old fillies as a key lead-up to the following month’s Group 1 Queensland Oaks (2400m).
The Doomben Roses was upgraded to a Group 2 event for the 2014 edition, having previously been run as a Group 3 race since 2003.
Two fillies throughout history have completed The Roses – Queensland Oaks double with Ethereal (2001) and Scarlett Lady (2011). Ethereal also went on to take out that year’s Melbourne Cup over the two miles at Flemington making her the most famous of all The Roses winners.
The Roses 2020 took place on Saturday June 13, 2020 at Eagle Farm over 1800m due to COVID-19 and was won by the short-priced favourite Vanna Girl.

The Roses 2020 betting odds for the winter will be available below complete with market links to Ladbrokes.com.au the week of the race.
Vanna Girl ($2.10 in 2020) was the last favourite in The Roses betting to salute for the punters.
The Roses field attracts the season’s top three-year-old staying fillies coming off a lead-up run in either an earlier Queensland race like the Gold Coast Bracelet or possibly the Group 1 Australasian Oaks (2010m) in Adelaide, and is the last of the traditional Queensland Oaks lead-up races.
The official 2020 The Roses field & barriers will be announced below the Wednesday of race week.
The Roses 2020 final field attracted a capacity line-up of 14 fillies plus a single emergency, Hallowed Girl who drew the inside alley. Race favourite Vanna Girl suffered an early blow out in barrier 13 as the recent dual Black-Type winner chases a fourth win on the trot for last weekend’s Stradbroke winning trainers Toby & Trent Edmonds.

Established in 1996, The Roses has grown rapidly in prominence, achieving Group 3 status within 9 years (1996) and Group 2 status in 18 years (2014).
Inaugurated as the Doomben Roses, from 2010 onwards the race has been known simply as The Roses.
The Doomben Roses was initially raced over 1625m, dropping back to 1615m in 1997, and then remaining at a steady 2020m from 1998 until 2011. Since 2012 the race has been 2000m.
The 2020 The Roses ran at Eagle Farm over 1800m due to COVID-19.
Many horses who race in the Doomben Roses go on to compete in the Queensland Oaks (2400m), the premier staying event for fillies in Queensland. Only two fillies have won the Doomben Roses-Queensland Oaks double; Ethereal (2001) and Scarlett Lady (2011).
