The Bow Mistress Trophy is a Group 3 race run at Hobart Racecourse on a Friday in early February during the annual Tasmanian Summer Racing Carnival, two days prior to Hobart Cup Day on the Sunday.

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 Sunday’s 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.

The Bow Mistress Trophy 2023 ran on Friday February 10, 2023 and was won in an upset by Victorian raider Belsielle ($18).

Taking on Moody’s Melbourne raider Dance Of Dubai and have fellow Victorian visitor For Real Life on top at a nice price in Tassie’s Bow Mistress on Friday. This classy four-year-old daughter of Capitalist brings in some strong form. Rails draw for Leon & Troy Corstens’ mare who was last seen winning a F&M BenchMark 70 at Flemington over 1100m in December. She’s had a freshen-up, goes well first-up and will relish the drop back from 59.5kg that run to 56.5kg on Friday in a winnable Group 3. Up in grade but the weight and draw see her get a good run. Definite winning chance.
