Stay tuned for our insider Rose Of Kingston Stakes 2024 Tips on the mares’ only event at Flemington this Turnbull Stakes Day.

  • To Win: #4 Skybird ($3.90 at time of publish) – BET NOW

A quality line-up of mares in the Rose of Kingston including current favourite Skybird who is hard to knock even from the wide draw. Trained by Mitchell Freedman, this four-year-old was strong first-up when second here over 1200m in a competitive Group 2 Bobbie Lewis Quality. She’s a former Group 2 winner in Adelaide, will be better over 1400m, has the benefit of the lead-up run and can overcome the gate to get the job done here.

2024 Rose Of Kingston Stakes 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 2024 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.
