2021 Dulcify Stakes Race Details

Race 5 at Rosehill At Kembla Grange on Saturday 11 September 2021.

The Dulcify Stakes is a 1500 metre set weights plus penalties race for three-year-olds run by the Australian Turf Club normally at Rosehill. It is held during September and there are also three Group 2 races on the programme. In 2021 the meeting has been transferred to Kembla Grange due to the ongoing Covid crisis as the local government area where Rosehill is located has had the strict stay-at-home orders extended.
