2010 Golden Rose Early Betting Market

Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes

The Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes will be run at Rosehill on 28 August 2010 and is significant because it is the first Group1 event of the 2010-11 racing season and is the only million dollar race of the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival. The Tooheys New Golden Rose is a 1400 metre race for three-year olds, and the horses that perform well here usually go on to perform well in other Group1 races which means it is a race you definitely need to watch. There were 1809 nominations and 179 first acceptances shown on the Sydney Turf Club website, which shows just how important trainers consider this race.

Lead-up Race to the Golden Rose

The Group 3 Run To The Rose over 1300 metres on Saturday 14 August is the key lead-up to the Golden Rose and the $125,000 race has attracted some of the top three-year-olds. Trainer Gerald Ryan has elected to run Hinchinbrook in the Starlight Stakes instead as he regarded the weight of 59.5kg allocated for the Run To The Rose unfair.
