A Group 3 event, the Red Roses Stakes is held under set weights and penalties conditions and is restricted to three-year-old fillies fighting for $300,000 in total prize money.
The Red Roses Stakes is held on VRC Oaks Day, now Crown Oaks Day, which is the third day of the four-day Melbourne Cup Carnival. It shares the race program with a number of other black type races including the Group 1 VRC Oaks (2500m).
Fillies tend to gravitate towards the Red Roses Stakes following a wide variety of preparations. Most will have been racing on the Melbourne circuit in the weeks prior, although some might make the journey from Sydney or elsewhere. The Listed Cap D’Antibes Stakes (1100m) held at Flemington in September has proven to be a mildly accurate lead up race. The Group 2 Moonee Valley Fillies Classic (1600m) might be targeted by some of the handier types on their way.
Following the Red Roses Stakes, some fillies might head to the paddock for a rest, while others might choose to extend their campaign. The Listed Twilight Glow Stakes (1400m) at Sandown is one potential future target, while some might head over to Western Australia for the WA Champion Fillies Stakes (1600m) at Ascot in mid-November.
The 2024 Red Roses Stakes was held on Thursday November 7, 2024 as part of Flemington’s VRC Oaks Day and was won in an impressive upset by the Chris Waller-trained Amelita ($11).

2024 Red Roses Stakes Tips
- To Win: #2 Tobeornottobe ($14 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Tipping an upset in the key support act on Oaks Day with a wide-open field and market making for an intriguing race. Tobeornottobe is around $14 at time of publish despite her class. She carries 58kg which is a query but the nicely bred daughter of Pierata is Group 2 performed and a Gorup 3 winner. Back-to-back thirds earlier this prep including one behidn Bellatrix Star at The Valley. That form was franked with the winner going on to win the Group 2 Schillaci before her second in last Saturday’s Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes. This filly meanwhile was unplaced when 10th last time out in the Group 2 Thousand Guineas Prelude but stretched at 1400m. She drops back and it will take a top effort but think the 1100m will be her go and she’ll be slick at a price.
