Winning Margin: 1.75 lengths
Winning Time: 1:23.55
Barry Campbell’s ultra-consistent Stratosphere filly, Sanniya ($1.50F), saluted for the punters producing a dominant display as her odds-on price suggested she would in the 2026 Vamos Stakes results. The second filly in as many years to complete the Mystic Journey Stakes / Vamos Stakes double, the progressive three-year-old was rated perfectly by jockey Craig Newitt who took her to the lead early from the wide draw and she held her front-running position all the way to the line. Brilliant late, she raced away on the home straight to deny Grid Girl by 1.75 lengths and take her record up to seven wins from eight starts.

Held on the same day as the Group 3 Launceston Cup (2400m), the Vamos Stakes is run over 1400m and offers $150,000 in total prize money.
The Launceston Group 3 is contested under weight-for-age conditions by field dominated by local Tasmanian-trained fillies and mares coming off a run in a race like the Group 3 Bow Mistress Trophy (1200m) run at Hobart a fortnight earlier and now known as the Mystic Journey Stakes.
Three-year-old fillies Geegees Mistruth (2025) and Sanniya (2026) are the latest runners to complete the Mystic Journey Stakes – Vamos Stakes double.
The best out of the Vamos Stakes field may head to Adelaide for a shot at the Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) at Morphettville in the winter, a race the 2016 Vamos Stakes winner I Love It finished third to Precious Gem in. I Love It also returned in the Vamos Stakes of 2017 to finish third on the back of her Bow Mistress third in the same year.
The 2021 Vamos Stakes winner Still A Star went on to run in Melbourne’s $5 million The All-Star Mile that autumn and also franked the form with a Group 2 Rose of Kingston Stakes victory at Flemington over the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
The Vamos Stakes 2026 took place Launceston Racecourse on Wednesday February 25, 2026 as part of Ladbrokes Launceston Cup Day and was won in style by Barry Campbell’s odds-on favourite Sanniya ($1.50F).Â

2026 Vamos Stakes Tips
Stay tuned for our insider Vamos Stakes 2026 Tips on the Tassie Group 3 this summer.
To Win: No. 12 Sanniya
SANNIYA (9) is at zero value in Vamos Stakes betting, but this deserving odds-on filly is impossible to bet against. Her strike-rate so far is elite – six wins from seven starts – including her past four on the trot. Barry Campbell’s exciting young daughter of Stratosphere is doing everything right and comes off an impressive, two-length romp home in the Group 3 Mystic Journey Stakes (1200m) at Hobart. The ease of which she put away her rivals there put the writing on the wall for her trip to Launceston now as she chases the double. Similar competition, she remains on 53.5kg in a big plus, the 1400m looks very achievable based on her big winning margin last time out, and her Launceston track strike-rate is imposing (3:2-1-0). Draws wider out but Craig Newitt sticks with. Wins.
