The Quezette Stakes is a Group 3 race for three-year-old fillies run at Caulfield Racecourse in mid-August.

2025 Quezette Stakes Results

• 1st: #10 Ferivia ($11)
• 2nd: #3 My Gladiola
• 3rd: #8 Thanks Gorgeous 

Lightly raced filly Ferivia ($11) announced herself as a genuine spring contender with a powerful late burst to head the 2025 Quezette Stakes results at Caulfield on Saturday, storming past the favourite Signature Scent, who eventually ran fourth, and holding off My Gladiola to score by under half a length.

Ridden by Lachlan Neindorf, who recently relocated to Melbourne, the Phillip Stokes-trained daughter of Astern showed maturity beyond her three starts, with Neindorf praising her ability to “switch on and off” and describing her as “a lovely filly on the up.”

Stokes was thrilled with the win but remains undecided on her ideal distance, saying, “We’ll see how she pulls up and make a plan – she might be on a Thousand Guineas path.”

Ferivia’s next targets could include stepping up to 1400m, with her big stride and composure suggesting she could stretch to a mile, making her a compelling prospect for the Group 1 Thousand Guineas later this spring.

The Quezette Stakes field is restricted to three-year-old fillies, the majority of which are kicking off their Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival campaigns. Run under set weights with penalties, the Quezette Stakes gives punters a nice early guide to tougher upcoming race for the young fillies including Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) or for young sprinters the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) at Flemington over the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

Sunlight (2018) was the last filly to complete the Quezette Stakes – Coolmore Stud Stakes double. Sunlight would also go onto win the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap – William Reid Stakes sprint double in 2019 over the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival.

The Quezette Stakes draws many nice young fillies, some with Group 1 form from their two-year-old seasons in races like the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) held at Caulfield each February or even Rosehill’s iconic Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) in March. In 2018 the Quezette Stakes winner Sunlight had run third in that season’s Golden Slipper Stakes.

Offering $200,000 in total prize money as of 2021 the race is a good early kick-off for fillies chasing Black-Type as three-year-olds.

The Quezette Stakes is run on P.B. Lawrence Stakes Day alongside the weight-for-age Group 2 PB Lawrence Stakes (1400m) and the Group 3 Vain Stakes (1100m). The Vain Stakes is essentially the colts and geldings’ counterpart to the Quezette Stakes, run under the same conditions across the same distance for the same prize money.

Following success in the Quezette Stakes, some fillies might go on to race in the HDF McNeil Stakes or the Thousand Guineas Prelude.

The Quezette Stakes 2025 took place on Saturday, August 16, 2025 on P.B. Lawrence Stakes Day and was won in an eye-catching upset by the Phillip Stokes trained Ferivia ($11).

• To Win: #1 The Playwright ($8.50 at time of publish) – BET NOW

There’s plenty of depth and intrigue in this year’s Quezette Stakes, but THE PLAYWRIGHT (6) stands out at a generous price as the classiest filly in the field. Trained by Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott, the daughter of Written By had a standout juvenile campaign, kicking off with a debut win at Rosehill last November. She followed that with a Group 3 placing and a strong fourth in the $3 million Magic Millions 2YO Classic at the Gold Coast, defying big odds in just her third start. Her breakthrough came in the Group 3 Widden Stakes (1100m), where she scored narrowly, before running a bold fourth in the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield – just 2.6 lengths off Devil Night. Those form lines are elite for a race like this, and she returns well-weighted, with two solid Sydney trials under her belt. Drawn midfield and partnered with Blake Shinn, she looks ready to fire fresh and is well overlooked in early markets.
