2025 Tea Rose Stakes Results

Stay tuned for the official 2025 Tea Rose Stakes results and finishing order including which fillies may be Flight Stakes bound this spring!

• 1st: #1 Apocalyptic ($3)
• 2nd: #5 Artistic Venture
• 3rd: #2 Tupakara

Apocalyptic ($3) was huge over the final 100m racing away to take out the 2025 Tea Rose Stakes results and go back-to-back after taking out the Furious Stakes fresh. Michael Freedman’s filly is now the $2 favourite for the upcoming Group 1 Flight Stakes where jockey Tommy Berry, who never panicked in the Tea Rose despite sitting three wide for much of the race, believes she’ll see out the mile and be hard to beat.

Taking place on The Shorts Day at Royal Randwick, the Tea Rose Stakes is one of four Group races held at the meeting. Also run on the day are the now $1 million Group 2 The Shorts (1100m) for The Everest hopes, Group 3 Bill Ritchie Handicap (1400m), and Group 3 Kingston Town Stakes (2000m).

Replacing the George Main Stakes – which now runs as the Group 1 $5 million King Charles III Stakes (1600m) at Randwick on The Everest Day in mid-October – on the card as of 2023 is the $1 million 7 Stakes (1600m) which offers an Epsom Handicap ballot exemption.

A middle-distance race run over 1400m, the Tea Rose Stakes is for three-year-old fillies at set weights and is worth $300,000. A good lead-up race to the Tea Rose Stakes is the Group 2 Furious Stakes (1400m) two weeks before at Randwick.

The Furious Stakes has proved a fantastic guide to the Tea Rose Stakes in recent years, with many fine fillies claiming victory in both races including Foxplay (2016), Dame Giselle (2020), Tiz Invincible (2023) and most recently Apocalyptic (2025).

Quality fillies that run well in the Tea Rose Stakes usually progress on to the premier fillies’ event at the carnival, the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) at Randwick on Epsom Handicap Day a fortnight later.

The Tea Rose Stakes is an ideal preparation to this showcase race for females, with many punters placing a bet on the Tea Rose Stakes / Flight Stakes double.

Fillies to win both races include Zougotcha (2022), Funstar (2019), Alizee (2017), First Seal (2014), Guelph (2013), Streama (2011), More Joyous (2009), Samantha Miss (2008), Cheeky Choice (2006), Ha Ha (2001), and Unworldy (2000).

The 2023 Tea Rose Stakes also produced that year’s Flight Stakes winner with Tropical Squall improving on her lead-up third to win the Group 1, while Kimochi ran second in both events.

The 2024 Tea Rose Stakes form was franked with the runner-up Snow In May running a next-up third in that year’s Flight Stakes trifecta.

The latest edition of the Tea Rose Stakes 2025 ran on Saturday, September 20, 2025 as part of Randwick’s The Shorts Day card and saw Michael Freedman’s Furious Stakes winner Apocalyptic ($3) race away for a commanding 1.6 length win ahead of the Flight Stakes.

2025 Tea Rose Stakes Tips

Stay tuned for our insider Tea Rose Stakes 2025 Tips on the key Flight Stakes lead-up this September.

• To Win: #2 Tupakara ($4 at time of publish) – BET NOW

TUPAKARA (3) has been one of the most consistent fillies over the past season if not a little frustrating coming oh so close without winning. She remains a maiden after seven starts but I think that can change second-up on Saturday in the Tea Rose. The Archibald’s daughter of Trapeze Artist was right up there as a juvenile including her third to Nepotism in the Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m) only a neck away in a blanket finish at Randwick. Fresh she was also narrowly denied by Apocalyptic, who is the favourite on Saturday, when making up ground from the back. Tupakara however looks the value for mine set to relish the 1400m now and a better draw. The flying J-Mac stays on, she presents fit, gets the blinkers on and will be there in the finish.

2025 Tea Rose Stakes Field

The official Tea Rose Stakes 2025 Final Field of Flight Stakes hopefuls will be published in full below once released by Racing NSW on the Wednesday of race week.

The 2025 Tea Rose Stakes field features 11 potential Flight Stakes bound fillies including last start Furious Stakes winner Apocalyptic and Group 1 placed Within The Law drawn the outside alley but getting plenty of support to return to her best third-up and fit.

Tea Rose Stakes History

First run in 1980, the inaugural winner of the Tea Rose Stakes was Dark Eclipse. It began as a Listed race run over 1400m but soon gained Group 3 status in 1983. The race distance was increased in 1985 to 1500m when the Tea Rose Stakes became a Group 2 event. From 1990 – 1991 the race was run over the increased distance of 1550m before reverting back to 1500m in 1992. In 2007 the race was not held due to equine influenza. From 2013 onwards, the Tea Rose Stakes has been raced over 1400m as opposed to the previous 1500m.

In 2020 Dame Giselle won the first three legs of the Princess Series taking out the Silver Shadow Stakes – Furious Stakes – Tea Rose Stakes hat-trick.
