Tesio Stakes News
The Tesio Stakes is a Group 3 event held at Moonee Valley Racecourse in Melbourne during the Spring Racing Carnival.
Raced over 1600m, the Tesio Stakes is a handicap event for mares aged four years and older and pays $200,000 in total prize money.
The Tesio Stakes is held on one of the nation’s biggest days of racing, Cox Plate Day. It shares a race program with a host of other Group races. These include the Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m), Group 2 Moonee Valley Fillies Classic (1600m), Group 2 Moonee Valley Vase (2040m), Group 2 Crystal Mile (1600m) and Group 3 Red Anchor Stakes (1200m).
Lead up races to the Tesio Stakes include the Group 3 How Now Stakes (1200m) and the Group 2 Blazer Stakes (1400m) – the latter now known as the Rose Of Kingston Stakes.
Following the Tesio Stakes there are a variety of options for mares to take. The classier types might head to the Group 1 Empire Rose Stakes (formerly the Myer Classic), while the Group 2 Matriarch Stakes (2000m) is also a popular target for those mares not at Group 1 level. Zanna (2003) was the last mare to complete the Tesio Stakes – Empire Rose Stakes double.
The 2021 Tesio Stakes form was franked with the third place-getter Annavisto returning the following autumn to run second in Sydney’s Group 1 Queen Of The Turf Stakes (1600m) in 2022.
The 2022 Tesio Stakes form held the following winter with the runner-up Roots also finishing second in Brisbane’s Group 1 Tattersall’s Tiara in 2023.
The 2023 Tesio Stakes was held on Saturday October 28, 2023 on Ladbrokes Cox Plate Day and was won in terrific fashion by the in-form Symon Wilde-trained favourite Wishlor Lass ($2.20F) who made it three straight victories.

- To Win: #2 Wishlor Lass ($2.50 at time of publish) – BET NOW
The favourite in the Tesio carries plenty of weight but deservingly so and is going too good to bet against. Symon Wilde’s five-year-old chases a third win on the trot and is proven at the mile. At her latest she won a Group 3 at Caulfield taking out the Ladies’ Day Vase narrowly with 56kg. Up to 59kg here but has the inside alley and is the class mare in the mix.
2023 Tesio Stakes Field
Each spring the Tesio Stakes field attracts a smart line-up of mares possibly looking to back-up the following Saturday at Flemington in the Group 1 Empire Rose Stakes field.
Mares to have completed the double include Zanna (2003), Western Chorus (1991) and Echo Lass (1989). In 2013 the Tesio Stakes winner Catkins finished runner-up in the Group 1 (then run as the Myer Classic) on VRC Derby Day, as did Lady Lynette in 2009. Lady Lynette also returned to win the 2010 Tesio Stakes, a race that often attracts similar line-ups of mares on back-to-back years.
The 2023 Tesio Stakes field are released on the Wednesday leading up to Cox Plate Day and will be provided in full below once announced.
The Tesio Stakes 2023 final field features a quality line-up of mares led in betting by Group 3 Ladies’ Day Vase winner Wishlor Lass with the inside draw.

Tesio Stakes History
Inaugurated in 1988, the Tesio Stakes has seen quite a few classy mares pass through. The Tesio Stakes was a listed race between its inception in 1988 and 1993. In 1994, it gained Group 3 status, which it has retained since.
There was a dead heat for two years running. In 2007, Maslins Beach and Autumn Jeuney tied at the post, with Miss Badoura and Bird Of Fire doing the same in 2008. The 2008 edition also saw the next two runners, Permission To Land and Princess Marizza, tie for third only 0.2 lengths off the lead.
The Tesio Stakes has seen a lot of name changes over the years. In 1990 it was known as the BMW Australia Stakes, and in 1991 and 1992 it was known as the Dalgety Breeders’ Plate. In 1993 the race was again sponsored by BMW and was known as the BMW Plate. Between 1994 and 2004 it reverted to its original name, the Tesio Stakes. Following that, it became known as the Inglis Mile. In 2013 and 2014, the Tesio Stakes was known as the Eliza Park International Stakes.
Notable Tesio Stakes winners include Voltage (1988), Bold Alliance (1992), Zanna (2003), Lady Lynette (2009, 10) and Catkins (2013).
