Furious Stakes News
The Group 2 Furious Stakes is a set weight race for three year old fillies held at Randwick Racecourse in Sydney. Held in early September during the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival, the 1200m event is worth $300,000 in prize money as of 2023.
Many fillies will first race in the Silver Shadow Stakes held two weeks earlier. Formality (2017), Libertini (2019) and Dame Giselle (2020) are the most recent fillies to complete the Silver Shadow – Furious Stakes double.
The better performing fillies will then advance to the Group 2 Tea Rose Stakes (1500m) held at Rosehill Gardens. Foxplay (2016), Dame Giselle (2020), and Tiz Invincible (2023) are the latest to take out the Furious Stakes – Tea Rose Stakes double.
The Furious Stakes is part of the ‘Princess Series Of Races’ and the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) over the mile at Randwick on Epsom Handicap Day completes the series.
Angst (1993) and Samantha Miss (2008) are the only two fillies in history to complete the series with wins in all four races: Silver Shadow Stakes / Furious Stakes / Tea Rose Stakes / Flight Stakes.
The 2022 Furious Stakes form was franked with the winner North Star Lass going on to run third in that year’s Flight Stakes trifecta. The Furious Stakes third-placed She’s Extreme meanwhile was brave a few runs later when third to the boys in the Spring Champion Stakes results before heading to Melbourne to take out the Group 1 VRC Oaks (2500m) at Flemington over the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
In 2023 Kimochi ran second in the Furious Stakes, Tea Rose Stakes, and Flight Stakes results.
The Furious Stakes 2024 ran on Saturday September 7, 2024 at Randwick Racecourse as a key Group 1 Flight Stakes lead-up and was narrowly won by the favourite Manaal ($2.25F).
